New great success for Cetilar®: PharmaNutra obtains the patent grant

A new, fundamental strategic business asset has been added to those already owned by PharmaNutra SPA. On 5 February 2018 the company received from the Italian Patent Office the patent grant for Cetilar ® RM (number 102015000044822).

Required in 2015, the patent will be valid for 20 years. In the past two years between the request (in fact the date of the filing day is valid) and the concession, the patent is valid, since no one else can deposit the application or sell the product. However, only from the time it is granted this takes on the value of intellectual property and it is guaranteed for 20 years. Therefore, starting from this year, the Cetilar® RM patent is officially an important corporate asset for PharmaNutra SPA.
