GOSSELIES, Wallonia, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

TheraVet (ISIN: BE0974387194 – ticker: ALVET), a pioneering company in the management of osteoarticular diseases in pets, announces that the European Patent Office (EPO), and the Singapore and Israel patent offices granted a patent covering TheraVet VISCO-VET technology.

This patent, running until 2040, covers the manufacturing process of a gel-forming composition as well as the composition obtained by the said method. Patent applications with the same subject matter are pending in the United States, China, Japan and other territories. Two other patent applications on the VISCO-VET technology are currently under examination.

VISCO-VET is a veterinary medicinal product currently under clinical assessment in a prospective, multicentric, controlled, double-blinded, randomized field study in client-owned dogs suffering from osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to evaluate the potential of a unique intra-articular injection of VISCO-VET in stifle or elbow – with a focus on elbow - to improve dog’s mobility and reduce pain compared to a non-treated control group.

Enrico Bastianelli, Chief Executive Officer of TheraVet, states: “We are pleased that our efforts to strengthen our intellectual property have resulted in the issuance of this key patent on VISCO-VET technology. We are continuing our initiatives to protect our technologies in other main territories and also through other patent families that are still pending.”
