Patent Strategy

Lipigon's patent strategy aims to establish strong protection for the company's current and future products in development and their medical use. Lipigon's existing patent portfolio illustrates how multiple projects can be developed through a structured patent strategy.

In November 2019, applications for three different patents under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) were filed for Lipisense^®, which were later consolidated into a single patent family currently in the national phase in several countries. New development projects closely related to Lipisense^® are in the planning stage and the CAP project utilizes parts of this patent family. In CAP, substances targeting the ANGPTL4 protein, already optimized within the Lipisense^® project but not further pursued there, are being utilized.

In October 2023, Lipigon was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Lipisense^®, concerning the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases (cardiovascular diseases and metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes).

Within the Dyslipidemia project, patent applications to protect specific substances will filed after the completion of chemical optimization. In instances where Lipigon will engage in orphan drug development, efforts to obtain orphan drug status will be pursued.
