Innocan Pharma Broadens Intellectual Property Coverage for its Liposomal CBD Injection Across Asia and Announces Private Placement of Units
Innovative Chronic Pain Treatment expand IP Protection in China's US$163 Billion Pharmaceutical Market
HERZLIYA, Israel and CALGARY, AB, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) ("Innocan" or the "Company"), a pioneer in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, is pleased to announce that a divisional application for its Chinese (CN) liposome-based CBD technology patent was filed.
Following the recently granted patent in India for a prolonged-release pharmaceutical formulation using liposomes to encapsulate CBD, Innocan is actively advancing its efforts to strengthen intellectual property protection across additional Asian markets. China, the second-largest pharmaceutical market in the world, was valued with US $163Bn medicine spending at 2023 (IQVIA). The filing of this divisional application in China reflects the expertise and commitment of the Innocan team and represents a strategic step in aligning the company's intellectual property portfolio with its long-term global business objectives.
This application protects Innocan's synthetic CBD-loaded Liposome Injection Platform (LPT-CBD), developed jointly in collaboration with Professor Chezy Barenholz and Dr. Ahuva Cern from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The liposomal drug delivery platform allows for prolonged exposure and maximizes the bioavailability and therapeutic effects of CBD.
"We are pleased to announce the filing of a divisional patent in China," said Iris Bincovich, Chief Executive Officer of Innocan. "Establishing a comprehensive global patent strategy enables us to effectively support the company's broader business objectives in the global pharmaceutical market—particularly within the rapidly growing Asian region"
Dr. Eyal Kalo, Vice President of R&D, commented, "LPT-CBD demonstrates sustained pharmacokinetics and has shown efficacy across multiple animal models of chronic pain. We are extremely proud of our team's efforts in advancing the innovation behind LPT-CBD, enabling us to secure broad international intellectual property protection".
