Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. Makes Significant Progress in
Protecting Its Intellectual Property

Coral Springs, Florida - Nov 19, 2008

Doug Hague, President & Chief Executive Officer, today announced today that Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CCTC) has filed for worldwide patent protection of its proprietary coal enhancement process and that it has received encouraging news in this regard. Patent protection has been sought through the World Intellectual Property Organization through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).

That treaty has been ratified by most of the industrialized countries in the world, including the United States, most of Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Republics, Japan, China, Korea and India.

Following CCTI's filing, the International Preliminary Search Authority (IPSA) has issued a report based on the search of the relevant prior art and the reasoned opinion in that report indicates that the proprietary coal enhancement process is patentable as filed. As indicated in the report, "there is no reasonable basis to believe that the skilled one in the art could arrive at the subject matter of the claims without exercising inventive skill. Therefore, the subject matter of claims (1-18) is considered to be novel, involve inventive step and be industrially applicable under PCT Article 33(2)-(4)."

While the patent office of each country has the right and the authority to make the final decision as to the patentability of the process, such a finding is encouraging regarding the prospects for issuance of patents in many countries that have ratified the PCT.

Company executives stated that: "The IPSA's report is very encouraging, and paves the way for the continued pursuit and protection of CCTI's intellectual property within our primary markets, and the world at large. We consider this report as a major milestone, and a further re-enforcement of our company's technological leadership in the development of clean coal technologies."
