Developing a functional food or nutraceutical?
We’re increasingly seeing a disconnect between the scope of protection available through patent use claims for functional foods and nutraceuticals and the uses for which regulatory authorisation can actually be obtained in the EU and UK.
This can create a gap between patent protection and commercialisation.
A carefully considered patent strategy from the outset can help close this gap, connecting meaningful patent protection with the regulatory and commercial realities of bringing a product to market.
Looking to protect your innovation? I’d be happy to hear about your ideas and explore how I can help.
