Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCBB: SKVI)
LAS VEGAS, Jul 27, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) — Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCBB:SKVI) announced today the Hong Kong Patent Office has issued the Company a patent (No. HK1066971) covering its unique polymer delivery system, Invisicare(R). This comprehensive patent is the fourth granted in Asia and the seventh worldwide. The Invisicare patent adds protection in Hong Kong in the areas of “Topical Composition,” “Topical Composition Precursor,” and “Methods for Manufacturing and Using.”
“Patent protection represents a key investment for Skinvisible as it provides our products with long-term market exclusivity,” said Mr. Terry Howlett, President and CEO of Skinvisible. “Patents strengthen our ability to license our unique product formulations worldwide, as evidenced by our recent agreements in Europe, China and the United States. We are aggressively pursuing additional licensing opportunities for formulations developed with the Invisicare technology.”
The patented Invisicare technology can be applied to a variety of topical products for medical conditions and uses, especially where a controlled release of the active ingredient and substantivity are the desired benefit. Its uniqueness stems from an ability to deliver a wide range of active ingredients, holding them on the skin while providing a controlled release. The cream and gel formulations made with Invisicare have a smooth feel which form an undetectable film that delivers the active ingredient while supporting the skin’s natural barrier function. This technology provides life cycle management for topical products that require new patent protection, revitalization and a new story.
Skinvisible holds patent protection for Invisicare in the United States, Australia, India, China, South Korea, Japan and now Hong Kong. The Company has numerous US and international product patents pending covering both the technology and finished product formulations.
