AcuCort AB (Spotlight Stock Market: ACUC) today announced that the China National Intellectual Property Administration has granted the company’s patent application for its drug ISICORT®. The company has an active patent strategy covering all major geographic markets, including China.

“We are very pleased that our patent application for ISICORT® has been granted by the China National Intellectual Property Administration. The positive decision from the Chinese patent authority means that AcuCort now has two active patents that protect the drug ISICORT® in China, which is a major potential market. Furthermore, we continue our partner dialogues and the work for market approval on more markets as planned,” says Jonas Jönmark, CEO of AcuCort AB.
