NFANT Labs Receives European Patent Protection for Solution Targeting Infant Feeding Complications

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Mar 9, 2016) -  NFANT Labs LLC announced today it has received a notice of grant of its pending European patent, extending the patent coverage of the nfant® Feeding Solution outside of the U.S. market. The European patent, entitled "Tongue Strength Evaluation System and Method," complements U.S. patents recently issued to NFANT Labs for technology that non-invasively monitors feeding metrics and uses a mobile app to track feeding progression as an infant matures.

Infant feeding complications are one of the leading causes of delay in discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and driver of the cost of care. Up to 70% of premature and 10% of full-term infants exhibit trouble transitioning to bottle or breast feeding on their own, affecting over 1.5M infants in the U.S. and Europe annually.

The nfant® Feeding Solution, NFANT Labs' flagship product, is currently sold in the U.S. and the grant of the European patent signals NFANT Labs' intention to expand into international markets. This is a pivotal step in NFANT Labs' plan to improve the standard of care for infants with feeding disorders on an international scale.

"NFANT Labs was started with the mission of helping infants overcome health struggles regardless of where they are born," said Tommy Cunningham, COO of NFANT Labs and lead inventor. "International expansion of our IP portfolio lays the foundation to extend our services outside of the U.S to patients who need our care."
