Japanese Patent Office grants skin delivery patent
OBJ Limited (ASX: OBJ) is pleased to report it has received notice from its Patent
Attorney that the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) has now issued the Deed of Letters
Patent for the granting of the magnetic microarray patent to OBJ.
The Certificate of Patent, number 6046609 titled ‘Delivery of Skincare Products’
provides OBJ and its licensees with the patent protection in Japan for its magnetic
microarray technology in skin delivery applications, already licensed for the beauty
and grooming market sector. The patent is effective from 25 November 2016 and will
expire on 17 June 2031.
The company announced the acceptance of this patent by the JPO on 28 November 2016.
While the granting of this patent is normally a formality, the granting of a
Japanese patent is viewed by the Company as a major step forward. The granting of
the same patent by the US Patent Office was announced on 12 October 2016, while
prosecution of the same patent family is continuing in Europe.
As with the patent granted by the USA Patent Office, the Japanese patent has a life of
20 years from the earliest filing date of the application and will be of great interest
and value to SK-II, the Japanese based brand currently commercialising OBJ’s
microarray technology. Other Asia-based potential partners to OBJ will also benefit
from this patent protection.
“Intellectual property protection is a critical activity for the company,” said Jeffery
Edwards, the company’s Managing Director.
“We endeavour to achieve the widest possible protection, especially in mature and
sophisticated markets such as Japan, USA and Europe, where patent rights are
strongly enforced by Governments.”
This new patent further expands OBJ’s growing portfolio of granted intellectual
property protection.
