(Nasdaq: SPRC) ("Company" or "SciSparc"), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders and rare diseases of the central nervous system, announced that an additional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) was submitted as part of its ongoing collaboration with Clearmind Medicine Inc.

According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from the period 2017-2020, the prevalence of obesity in the United States of adults aged 20 and over was 41.9%.

According to Emergen Research, the global obesity treatment market size was $15 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.0% during the forecast period.
