Shares of Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE: DSS) today surged 5.16% after announcing that one of its subsidiaries Impact BioMedical, Inc. had completed the efficacy testing of its proprietary 3F Antiviral Biofragrance (“3F Biofragrance) at a biosafety level 3 containment facility at an independent university.

Adding that:
“3F Biofragrance has the potential to transform typical consumer products into weapons against the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses, and we look forward to providing updates on ongoing negotiations for global licensing and royalty agreements of this innovative technology,”
