Vilacto Bio Inc. has secured the patent applications for LACTOACTIVE® covering rights in the US, Canada Europe and Hong Kong. The transaction was finalized this November. Ownership of the patent applications, which Vilacto Bio had been licensing the US rights from a Danish company, is expected to give the company greater scope to continue developing the LACTOACTIVE® compound, and bolster its international IP ownership position. The patent applications also cover the company’s new compound, LACTOACTIVE iTHER®, a LACTOACTIVE® variant that offers potent immune-system enhancement with a potential for treating a wide range of diseases. LACTOACTIVE iTHER® is expected to generate new revenue streams in addition to the company’s LACTOACTIVE®-based therapeutic skincare range.
