Field Trip Health Ltd. announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for Field Trip's patent application No. 17/364,047 for claims related to FT-104 (informally known as “Isoprocin Glutarate”), Field Trip's first novel psychedelic molecule in development. Claims in the allowed patent application titled, “Tryptamine Prodrugs”, cover composition of matter, use and manufacturing of a family of hemi-ester compounds of hydroxytryptamines, including FT-104.

Notices of Allowance are issued by the USPTO after it has thoroughly examined a patent application to ensure it complies with all requirements under United States patent law. This includes a rigorous evaluation to confirm that the claimed subject material is both novel and non-obvious with respect to prior art. The formal granting of the patent will occur in a subsequent administrative step.

The international (PCT) patent application relating to FT-104, which was filed in June 2020, has also published (WO 2022/000091) together with the International Search Report (ISR), a first step before expansion into National Phase filings to protect FT-104 in future major markets where Field Trip intends to pursue commercialization should FT-104 achieve regulatory approval. The international (PCT) patent application provides Field Trip with deferred patent filing rights in 150+ countries.
