Lexaria Bioscience Corp. LXRP LXX:CNX , a drug delivery platform innovator, announces it has been granted two new US patents.

Lexaria now has six granted patents in the US and four granted patents in Australia. All ten of these patents are within Lexaria’s first patent family, “Food and Beverage Compositions Infused With Lipophilic Active Agents and Methods of Use Thereof”. Specifically, the two new patents are related to certain cannabinoid infused beverage compositions utilizing Lexaria’s proprietary DehydraTECHTM process which continue to strengthen the Company’s dominant intellectual property in the important cannabis beverage market.

Newly granted patent numbers 10,103,225 and 10,084,044 provide protection for compositions as well as methods for making the compositions, each of which include the use of both non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBD and also psychoactive cannabinoids such as THC. Lexaria is currently pursuing accelerated examination for patent applications in Australia based on these newest US patents and hopes to receive two corresponding Australian patents granted by the end of 2018.

With over 50 patent applications filed worldwide across an increasingly diverse range of patent families, Lexaria continues to expand its patent portfolio as a result of positive developments from its many research projects and is currently preparing additional new applications.
