CTT Pharma Strengthens Caffeine Patent in the USA
Back on April 27, the company had come into focus after it announced that it had sent in a patent application for orally administrable strips containing caffeine. It was also noted by the company that the application was in fact a continuation in part variant considering the fact that it had been granted United States Patents for similar orally administrable strips in the past.
In addition to that, the technology on which the whole thing is based has also been deemed patentable by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The strips dissolve in the mouth in a matter of seconds and then the caffeine gets into the bloodstream without actually going through the digestive tract. CTT Pharmaceuticals also noted that similar strips could also be used for administering other substances like B12 vitamins or CBD.
“Unlike coffee and energy drinks which has many competitors, energy strips in the US are an untapped market. This helped with my decision to strengthen our caffeine patents. CTT will look to monetize this patent-pending technology with a company looking to enter into the caffeine/energy strip market in the United States.” said Ryan Khouri, CEO of CTT Pharma.
