Emplicure AB (publ) is set to be granted a patent by the Japan Patent Office for inhalation of pharmaceuticals.

The Japanese Patent Office has confirmed its intention to grant the patent application for inhalation of pharmaceuticals, application No 2018-545487. This means the review and examination phase has passed and all terms are fulfilled. The patent is expected to be granted within the next months, and then into 2038.

"Japan is an important market for us and the granted patent sets a solid foundation for continual product development, and to push forwards outlicensing and co-development agreements based on our proprietary bioceramic technology platforms. In December last year we received the equivalent patent for the U.S. and this Japanese patent solidifies the strength in our platform, and the potential in developing pharmaceuticals for inhalation", says Torbjorn W. Larsson, CEO of Emplicure
