Amarin Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AMRN) announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published notification of a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 13/284,408. The application includes claims intended to protect the Vascepa™ (icosapent ethyl) indication approved in July 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on Amarin's MARINE clinical trial results.
A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from an application.
The issued patent would have a term that expires no earlier than in 2030. After issuance, Amarin plans to list the patent in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, or Orange Book.
"This Notice of Allowance is based upon showings that the clinical results for Vascepa in Amarin's MARINE trial were surprising and unexpected, key factors considered by the USPTO in granting a patent," stated Joseph Zakrzewski, Chairman and CEO of Amarin. "Amarin's goal is to protect the commercial potential of Vascepa to beyond 2030 through patent protection, regulatory exclusivity and trade secrets and by taking advantage of manufacturing barriers to entry. The issuance of this Notice of Allowance is yet another significant step toward achieving this goal."
These Notices of Allowance follow the issuance of U.S. Patent Number 8,18
