SARASOTA, FL, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) (“Silo” or the “Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on novel therapeutics and drug delivery systems, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued an Issue Notification for our previously filed patent application (No. 17/954,864) titled “Pharmacological Prophylactics Against Stress-Induced Affective Disorders in Females.” The projected patent number is 12,239,614 and the issue date of such patent will be March 4, 2025.
The patent reinforces protection for Silo’s lead asset, SPC-15, an intranasal treatment targeting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The patent includes newly added claims to U.S. Patent 11,491,120, which was issued to Silo in November 2022.
“Strategic IP and patent expansion is key to advancing our lead asset SPC-15 to clinical trials and creating value for our full pipeline of novel assets,” said Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo. “This new patent further supports our collaborative research with Columbia University and expands coverage for SPC-15.”
Silo announced the USPTO’s Notice of Allowance for the new patent in January 2025.
