AcuCort obtains trademark protection for Zeqmelit® in Europe
AcuCort AB (publ) (Spotlight Stock Market: ACUC) announces today that the brand name for the company's drug Zeqmelit® has been registered for trademark protection in all member states of the European Union. Brand protection is of strategic importance ahead of the company's commercialization phase. The application for trademark protection for Zeqmelit® has previously also been submitted for the American market.
"It is very gratifying that we have now received trademark protection in Europe for our oral film Zeqmelit® and associated areas of use. This means that the company's assets are protected and that we can proceed with full force to establish the medicine on the European market", says AcuCort’s CEO Jonas Jönmark.
The trademark protection in Europe is part of the trademark work that AcuCort previously started to change the name of the company's main product from ISICORT to Zeqmelit®. The trademark protection for Zeqmelit® in Europe is valid for the next 10 years, after which the company must apply for an extension.
