MetrioPharm Patents: Developments in all key markets

MetrioPharm AG was able to make further progress with regard to the patent protecti on of MP1032 in the fi rst months of 2014. Aft er previously obtaining the patent grant in Switzerland, the European Patent Offi ce has now declared its intenti on to grant a European patent (Notificati on 71 (3) EPÜ). Thereby MP1032 is now fully protected in one of our most criti cal markets.

An important milestone towards obtaining a fi rst patent grant was also achieved in the US market. The United States Patent Offi ce declared all major claims and the most important minor claims to be allowable. Therefore, a granti ng in the US market is quite likely within the current year.

All patents would extend unti l 2031 - therefore, MetrioPharm AG holds the exclusive right of uti lizati on for another 17 years. Such a long remaining patent life at this advanced stage of drug development is a rare occurrence in the pharmaceuti cal industry and poses a signifi cant advantage for future licensing and marketi ng.
