Amprion Patent Information
Amprion continues to build its intellectual property surrounding the company's proprietary methodology for highly sensitive detection of misfolded proteins and amyloid-like aggregates. Recently, fundamental patents have issued in key geographies which expand our extensive coverage in the EU and UK. The issued patents apply broadly to the methodology known alternatively as seed amplification assay (SAA), protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) or real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuiC).
Global Protection for Breakthrough Synuclein Technology
Amprion’s owned or exclusively-licensed ɑ-synuclein portfolio is particularly extensive. The portfolio currently includes multiple allowed and/or issued patents in numerous global regions. Amprion also has an issued U.S. patent and pending applications worldwide directed to Amprion’s proprietary ɑ--synuclein SAA substrate plus other key components needed for robust, reliable and reproducible performance of the technology
The Amprion products are protected by patents in the U.S. and elsewhere. This patent disclosure is provided to satisfy the virtual patent marking provisions of various jurisdictions, including the virtual patent marking provisions of the America Invents Act. The Amprion products may be protected by one or more patents listed below. In accordance with Section 287(a) of Title 35 of the United States Code, the reader ishereby placed on notice of Amprion, Inc.’s rights in the United States patents listed on this site and associated with Amprion’s products:
