The three new patents add to the company's existing portfolio and extend protection of the company's proprietary transdermal technology through at least 2028. Agile has also received a notice of allowance from the USPTO for the trademark Twirla(TM), and conditional acceptance from the FDA to use the proprietary name "Twirla" for its AG200-15 contraceptive patch, pending final agency review prior to NDA approval.
"We are thrilled that the USPTO issued these additional patents -- it underscores the proprietary nature of our transdermal technology and enhances the value of our intellectual property estate," said Al Altomari, President and CEO of Agile Therapeutics. "We are continuing to develop our patent portfolio in key markets around the world and the expansion in the U.S. is a great step forward."
