CombiGene AB (publ) ("CombiGene", the "Company") today announces that the patent offices in Australia and India have granted patent for the epilepsy project CG01. The approval strengthens the project, which CombiGene recently has regained the global rights to.

CG01 has previously been granted patents in the USA and Russia.

"The fact that CG01 has been granted patent in two new countries strengthens the project as we are putting together an attractive proposition for a potential partner," says Karin Agerman, Chief Scientific Officer at CombiGene. "Finding a new partner for the epilepsy project is of high priority for CombiGene this year," Karin concludes.
