Vivesto's international patent application for XR-18 receives positive decision

Solna, January 30, 2024 – Vivesto AB, an oncology-focused research and development company, today announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) has granted a positive approval regarding the patentability of the company's XR-18 technology platform in Vivesto's international patent application (Patent Cooperation Treaty; PCT). The patent application for XR-18 is now in an international phase, which provides the opportunity to apply for patents in countries that are part of the PCT collaboration (157 countries).

Vivesto now has two independent assessments that have been positive about the patentability of the XR-18 invention; EPO and earlier from the Swedish Intellectual Property Office (PRV). The company will now evaluate in which countries the company intends to seek protection.

"The European Patent Office's assessment is a good sign and indicates that other patent offices are likely to also take a positive view of patentability, while also validating the quality of the XR-18 program. We are now looking at various opportunities to pursue the program outside of Vivesto and thus continue to build shareholder value," said Erik Kinnman, CEO of Vivesto.
