Nutra Pharma Patent and Trademarks Published in India

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., March 25, 2013

"The patent and trademark publications in India represents one of the more significant international market opportunities for Nyloxin," commented Rik J Deitsch, Chairman and CEO of Nutra Pharma Corporation. "Now that we have patent protection to protect our formulas and trademark protection to defend the brand we can work to create sales and distribution in India. With the population of India exceeding a billion people and with limited patient access to opioid-based pain relievers throughout the country, India represents a potentially significant customer base for Nyloxin," he concluded.

According to a 1998 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), it was estimated that 19% of patients evaluated in India suffered from persistent pain. An additional 2007 report from the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, documented that only 0.4% of India's population in need of opioids for pain relief had access to them.

The patent, "Use of Cobratoxin as an Analgesic," was published in the Official Journal No.: 09/2013 of the Indian Patent Office (IPO) on March 1, 2013. The Trademarks for Nyloxin™ are registered in India under Class 5, which represents a Pharmaceutical or a dietetic substances adapted for medical use.
