“In October, Lexaria grew its portfolio of 19 international patent applications when it received patent allowance for DehydraTECH™ as a delivery platform for all cannabinoids, including (tetrahydrocannabinol) THC, fat soluble vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications (“NSAIDs”) and even nicotine. Upon formal patent issuance, the company will receive protection for its technology until at least 2035, and Lexaria will be in the prime position to accelerate its technology out-licensing activities in several key markets.
“This wide-ranging patent allowance from the USPTO exceeds our expectations. This vastly expanded intellectual property protection will enable us to aggressively pursue new business opportunities in 2018 such as what could be the world’s first nicotine edibles for the smokeless tobacco industry, or enhanced products for NSAID-derived pain management, as well as in the rapidly growing cannabis market,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka stated in the press release (http://nnw.fm/2iPIn).
“Because Lexaria’s patented lipid-delivery technology can be successfully applied to cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs and also tobacco, the company is positioned for opportunity in several lucrative markets.”
