“Since the previous IP portfolio update on February 1, 2023, the Company has secured five new granted patents, with three more expected to be granted by May 31, 2023. Additionally, it has received five patent Notices of Allowance.”
These are the main highlights found in Small Pharma’s IP update announced yesterday. The DMT-focused drug development firm is building on its successful Phase 2 results by expanding its already solid intellectual property portfolio.
According to Small Pharma’s press release below, the “… additional IP covers the four focused areas of protection and multiple markets, strengthening the Company’s international IP position”.
Analyst Elemer Piros of EF Hutton believes this supports Small Pharma’s chances — and has reiterated his Buy rating and very bullish price prediction. See the note here.
