the grant of this important patent in Europe. This patent has broad
claims relating to the composition of the novel drug substance,
SFX-01, and as such represents a material development for the
Company. It further expands the strength and depth of our
intellectual property position across all the key territories with
regard to the composition of the product and method of manufacture.
The overall intellectual property position around SFX-01 and novel
analogues has matured into an impressive patent estate, asserting
our exclusive position around this new class of
pharmaceutical."
