Iconovo receives patent protection for ICOres® in China
Iconovo AB (publ), which develops complete inhalation products for a global market, today announces that the Chinese Patent Office intends to approve Iconovo's application for a patent for the inhalation platform ICOres®. ICOres® is already being used in several of Iconovo's customer projects, and this new patent strengthens the intellectual property rights, benefiting customers who will launch pharmaceutical products based on the company's unique inhaler in the future.
The Chinese Patent Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent application related to ICOres®, which means that Iconovo will receive patent protection for the inhaler in China until 2040 after a series of administrative steps. ICOres® is already protected by patents in Europe (EPO), Sweden, India, Japan and the USA.
"The preliminary notification from the Chinese Patent Office strengthens our intellectual property rights in China and enhances the value of our product portfolio. China is a fast-growing market and already one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the world. Reservoir inhalers are of particular interest in China where Turbuhaler® from AstraZeneca is successful and inhalers with many doses are popular, " says Roger Lassing, Vice President of Business Development at Iconovo.
