LONDON (Alliance News) - Eden Research PLC Monday said it had been granted a patent by the South Korean Intellectual Property Office covering the composition and use of its key active terpene-based ingredients.
In a statement, the AIM-listed biopesticide and encapsulation company said the patent specifically covers "Compositions and Methods Comprising Terpenes or Terpene Mixtures selected from Thymol, Eugenol, Geraniol, Citral, and L-Carvone."
It widens the company's patent coverage in the country. Last July, Eden Research got a patent encompassing the application of Eden's encapsulation and terpene technology for killing mites.
"Our intellectual property is a key value driver for the business and its licensees and so the continued widening of our patent protection across multiple geographies is an important goal for the team. As we've mentioned before, the crop protection market in South Korea is substantial and this additional patent offers us excellent protection as we continue to move closer to the commercial launch of products using our technologies worldwide," Managing Director Sean Smith said in a statement.
