Another European patent approval for Episurf Medical
The European Patent Office, EPO, has taken the decision to allow another European patent for Episurf Medical (NASDAQ: EPIS B). The decision was taken at an oral proceeding at the EPO in Munich, Germany. The patent, entitled “System and method for creating a decision support material indicating damage to an anatomical joint” covers Episurf Medical’s 3D-based damage marking technology which constitutes a central part of the Episealer® implant system as well as the Epioscopy® joint visualisation system.
"This is a core patent for Episurf’s imaging technology, and we are very happy that the oral proceeding went well, and that the EPO decided to allow the patent. Medical imaging is one of the three fundamentals of our technology, together with the individualised implants and surgical instruments. Strong IP is important in all these parts, but imaging is really the basis for the whole technology”, comments Katarina Flodström, COO, Episurf Medical.
