Vancouver, Canada, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq, CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) (“Clearmind” or the “company”), a biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, announced today that it has submitted three patent applications under the international Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), as part of its ongoing collaboration with SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“SciSparc”), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system.
The three patent applications refer to novel proprietary combinations of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and SciSparc’s Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the active ingredient of SciSparc’ proprietary CannAmide™.
These applications were previously filed as provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
“Clearmind continues to be at the forefront of the psychedelic market with one of the largest IP portfolios in the industry. The PCT makes it possible for us to seek patent protection for our proprietary compounds in a large number of countries simultaneously which strengthens our IP portfolio. To date, our ongoing collaboration with SciSparc has led to the submission of 11 different patent applications, allowing us to continue to be at the forefront of research in the psychedelic industry while working on more effective and safer treatments,” said Clearmind’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani.
The latest patent applications build upon Clearmind’s broad IP protection in the psychedelic space, which now includes 27 granted patents and 24 pending patent applications across 15 patent families, nine of which have been granted in major jurisdictions such as the US, Europe, China, and India.
