Methods of preparing a postbiotic composition
Summary
USPTO granted patent US12594308B2 to Science Power SRL covering methods of preparing postbiotic compositions through multiple separate microbial fermentations. The patent, based on Application No. 18909568 filed October 8, 2024, includes 15 claims and lists Federica Nigro as the inventor. The composition may be produced via parallel or sequential fermentation steps.
What changed
USPTO issued Patent No. US12594308B2 granting Science Power SRL exclusive rights to methods of preparing postbiotic compositions using multiple microbial fermentations. The patent covers compositions produced through parallel or sequential fermentation processes, with CPC classifications spanning A61K (medicinal preparations), C12N (microorganisms), and related biotechnology categories.
For competitors in the postbiotic, probiotic, or microbiome therapeutic space, this patent establishes intellectual property barriers around multi-fermentation preparation methods. Companies developing similar composition preparation processes should conduct freedom-to-operate analyses to assess potential infringement risks. The patent holder gains enforceable exclusive rights in the US market for the claimed methods, potentially affecting licensing negotiations and product development strategies in the gut health and microbiome sectors.
