Skinvisible Granted Comprehensive Patent for Invisicare® in India
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Las Vegas, NV -- Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCBB: SKVI)(Website: http://www.skinvisible.com/), the developers of Invisicare, a proprietary polymer delivery system for topically applied dermatology products, is pleased to announce that it has been granted a comprehensive patent in India. The patent granted protects Invisicare in the areas of 'Topical Composition', 'Topical Composition Precursor', and 'Methods for Manufacturing and Using'.
These key patent components now allow for the protected manufacturing, marketing and distribution of Skinvisible's Invisicare technology and its formulated products in India. The key advantage of products formulated with Invisicare is its unique ability to hold active ingredients on the skin for extended periods of time while resisting wash-off, rub-off and perspiration. It has the ability to enhance topical skincare products, give an extended life to products coming off patent and be part of new formulations for over-the-counter and prescription dermatology products.
"With a population of over 1.1 billion people, India will be a key market for Skinvisible," said Mr. Terry Howlett, President and CEO of Skinvisible. "This patent approval informs our potential licensees that we are committed to protect our Intellectual Property as we work together to license our proprietary dermatology products in India and elsewhere. Skinvisible has filed for patent protection worldwide for Invisicare in order to meet the demands of our domestic and international pharmaceutical & cosmeceutical marketing partners."
This is the first patent approved in India for Skinvisible. The Company is also seeking patent protection for its dermatology products formulated with Invisicare for this country. Along with its domestic patents pending in the U.S. and Canada, additional international patents are pending for both Invisicare and products formulated with Skinvisible's delivery system technology.
