Numinus files an international patent application on the production process of psychedelics

The filing would provide additional protection to intellectual property already submitted to the USPTO

VANCOUVER, BC, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Numinus Wellness Inc. (“Numinus” or the “Company”) (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF), a mental health care company advancing innovative treatments and safe, evidence-based psychedelic therapies, today announced that its subsidiary Numinus Bioscience Inc. (“Numinus Bioscience “) filed a patent application with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, for a rapid production process of Psilocybe and other species of mushrooms containing psilocybin and other compounds.

A provisional patent application for the process was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on June 24, 2021. With this additional filing, international patent protection would extend to all WIPO Member States that have signed the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), including Australia, Germany, Netherlands and the UKwhere psychedelic research is currently active.

“WIPO is an important global forum that reassures member state patent offices. Numinus is confident that strong evidence supporting the production process will further inform regulators when considering policy changes to make therapies and more accessible psychedelic-assisted products,” said Sharan Sidhu, vice president, scientific research, innovation and laboratory operations, Numinus. “We look forward to advancing current research and paving the way for eventual commercialization and mainstream access.”

The goal of the process is to significantly increase the production of therapeutic products for use in psychedelic-assisted therapy, while reducing product variability, increasing production efficiency, and ultimately reducing marketing costs. . Since the initial filing, datasets validating the process for additional fungi have been completed, expanding its potential application and scope from psilocybin to other active compounds.

“This application is part of Numinus’ long-term intellectual property strategic focus on scalable and sustainable production that advances the research, development and delivery of innovative psychedelic-derived formulations in North America and beyond,” said Payton NyquvestFounder and CEO, Numinus.
