What changed
The European Patent Office has granted patent EP3801734A1 to Follica, Inc. for methods of promoting hair growth. The patent application covers therapeutic methods for hair growth under IPC classifications A61M 37/00, A61P 17/14, and A61Q 7/02, with designation extending across all EU member states and associated countries.
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies engaged in hair growth or dermatology research should conduct freedom-to-operate analyses before commercialising similar technologies in EU-designated states.
