Grant of European Patent for ColdZyme

STOCKHOLM, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Patent Office has granted Enzymatica's patent for the key cod enzyme component of Enzymatica's cold spray ColdZyme^® for the European market. The patent is valid until 2035. Enzymatica has also filed corresponding patent application for several large markets around the world.

Enzymatica announced on February 3 that the European Patent Office intended to grant a patent for the cod enzyme, which is one of the key components of ColdZyme. Enzymatica has now received a final grant of the patent. Enzymatica has developed an improved cod enzyme formulation for ColdZyme, for which new patent applications were globally filed in 2015 (European patent application number 16745663.1). The latest European patent is derived from this new patent family. The new patent prolongs the protection for ColdZyme and other Enzymatica products based on the same technology platform for another 15 years.
