The newly granted patent covers a key technical development to optimize Radspherin’s performance, specifically the size-controlled calcium carbonate microparticle technology. With this grant, patent protection for Radspherin in China is expanded in scope and duration, with a term extending to 2041. This complements the existing composition‑of‑matter patent, which is valid until 2035 (2036 in some jurisdictions). Corresponding patent applications from the same patent family remain under review in several major jurisdictions worldwide.
"We are very pleased to obtain this additional patent in China for Radspherin," said Oystein Soug, Chief Executive Officer at Oncoinvent. "As we continue to advance clinical development, it is essential that our innovation is backed by a strong and durable global intellectual property position."
