The protection covers both the method and system underlying the JUNO-Checked technology, providing long-term exclusivity for the company’s approach to assessing critical sperm function.

Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, comments: “I am very pleased that our patent for JUNO-Checked has been granted in Mexico, a significant and growing market for innovative fertility diagnostics. The granted patent in Mexico is expanding our global IP position for JUNO-Checked.”

About JUNO-Checked
JUNO-Checked is a patented diagnostic technology developed by Spermosens to assess the ability of sperm cells to bind to the JUNO receptor on the egg — a crucial step in fertilization. This interaction cannot be evaluated with conventional semen analysis. By replicating this process in vitro, JUNO-Checked provides a direct, functional measurement of sperm-egg binding, offering new insight for the assessment of male fertility.

About the Mexican market
Infertility affects a significant number of couples in Mexico, with male factors contributing to a substantial share of cases. The country’s fertility services market is growing steadily, supported by increasing awareness, advancing clinic infrastructure, and broader access to treatment. According to Grand View Research, the Mexican fertility services market generated approximately USD 452 million in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 855 million by 2030.
