Det europeiska patentet "A method for diagnosis of traumatic brain injury" (EP4483187) beviljades av EPO den 3 december 2025. Patentet skyddar en metod för detektion och användning av specifika kolhydratkompositioner som biomarkörer för traumatiska hjärnskador (TBI). Dessa markörer kan detekteras i icke-invasiva prover av kroppsvätska såsom urin eller saliv.

Detta är Medicortex tionde patent och stärker bolagets redan starka patentportfölj inom TBI-diagnostik. Patentet bekräftar Medicortex unika approach med glycanbaserade biomarkörer och säkerställer fortsatt exklusivitet för bolagets produktutveckling.

"Detta är ytterligare ett bevis på styrkan i Medicortex teknologi och deras förmåga att skydda sina innovationer. Ett starkt patentskydd är avgörande för framgångsrik kommersialisering och skapar betydande värde för aktieägarna," säger Jesper Yrwing, VD för NOSIUM AB (publ).

BIFOGAT PRESSMEDDELANDE FRÅN MEDICORTEX FINLAND OYJ:

A European patent granted for Medicortex

The European Patent Office (EPO) has granted a patent for Medicortex Finland Oyj, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on development of diagnostics and treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI). The patent strengthens Medicortex's unique approach for detection of glycan-based indicators of brain trauma.

The European patent "A method for diagnosis of traumatic brain injury" (EP4483187) was granted by the EPO on 3 December 2025. The patent protects a method of detection and use of certain carbohydrate compositions as biomarkers of TBI. The markers can be detected in non-invasive samples of body fluid such as urine or saliva.

Medicortex has received another confirmation of its expertise in protecting innovative new technologies that the company has developed in-house by its experienced research team.

Dr. Adrian Harel, CEO of Medicortex says: "This is a great achievement - we are very pleased with the increase of our patent portfolio, company's intellectual property covering methods of using certain biomarkers for detection of concussion and TBI. Issuance of this patent is another important step in the development of a new strategy to help identify and treat TBI."

Medicortex's patent portfolio encompasses biomarkers and methods of TBI detection as well as drug candidates developed by the company for halting the progression of TBI. The comprehensive patent coverage secures exclusivity to develop the products, and the company's strategy is to actively seek new patentable innovations from its biomarker and drug development programs.
