Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced three new patent awards. In the European Union, the company received a new patent in Lexaria’s patent family #6: Transdermal and/or Dermal Delivery of Lipophilic Active Agents. Following an earlier one granted in Canada, this is the company’s second patent in this family. In Canada, Lexaria has received a new patent in patent family #18: Compositions and Methods for Enhanced Delivery of Antiviral Agents. This is the company’s fourth granted patent in this family, which was previously granted in the U.S., Australia and Japan. Further, building on prior patent success in the U.S. related to epilepsy, Lexaria has received its fourth U.S. patent in patent family #24, Compositions and Methods for Treating Epilepsy. The patent complements earlier research that discovered DehydraTECH-CBD was capable of mitigating epileptic seizures in rodents and was also absorbed into the bloodstream more effectively than the commercially available cannabinoid-based anti-seizure medication.
