Insights

This patent approval significantly strengthens Clearmind's position in the psychedelic therapeutics market. The expanded IP portfolio, now comprising 29 granted patents across 19 patent families, provides robust protection for MEAI-based treatments. This coverage in key markets like the U.S., Europe, China and India is important for future commercialization efforts.

The patent's focus on regulating alcohol consumption and controlling binge behavior addresses a substantial market need. With $226 billion spent annually on alcohol-related issues in the U.S. alone, the potential market for MEAI-based treatments is significant. However, investors should note that FDA approval for psychedelic-derived therapeutics remains a complex and lengthy process, which could impact time-to-market and profitability.

The approval of this patent is a promising development in addiction treatment. MEAI's dual action of reducing alcohol cravings while providing a mild euphoric experience could be a game-changer for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) patients. This approach may address the psychological aspects of addiction more effectively than current treatments.

However, it's important to note that while this patent is significant, clinical trials are still needed to prove MEAI's efficacy and safety. The potential for treating both AUD and binge drinking is exciting, but we must remain cautious until we have robust clinical data. If successful, this could offer a new paradigm in addiction treatment, potentially reducing the 5.3% of global deaths attributed to alcohol consumption annually.

Clearmind's patent approval positions them well in the rapidly growing psychedelic therapeutics market, projected to reach $10.75 billion by 2027. The company's focus on Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) targets a significant unmet need, with over 14 million U.S. adults affected by AUD in 2019.

However, investors should consider the competitive landscape. Several companies are developing psychedelic-based treatments for various mental health conditions. Clearmind's success will depend on clinical trial outcomes, regulatory approvals and effective commercialization strategies. The company's extensive patent portfolio provides a competitive edge, but the path from patent to profitable product in the biotech sector is often long and uncertain.

(Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that it has received a new patent approval from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, marking another significant advancement in its proprietary MEAI-based binge behavior regulator program.

The approved patent claims cover, among other things, a method of regulating the consumption of alcoholic beverages and a method of controlling binge behavior through the administration of an amine aminoindane, including 5-methoxy-2-aminoindan (MEAI), the Company's innovative psychedelic molecule. This latest patent further bolsters Clearmind’s extensive intellectual property portfolio in the psychedelic sector, which now includes 29 granted patents across 19 patent families, with protections secured in key jurisdictions such as the U.S., Europe, China, and India.

Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind, commented, “We are proud to continue leading the way in IP protection within this space. Expanding and maintaining our patent portfolio, particularly in the U.S., remains a key objective for us.

MEAI is a novel psychoactive molecule that reduces the desire to consume alcoholic beverages while providing a mild euphoric, alcohol-like experience. It holds the potential to transform the lives of millions who struggle with moderating their alcohol intake.
