If I remember right, you want to open a clinic in USA too, but your WP says that your method of treatment is patented in Australia, China and Japan. Are you planning to patent it in USA too?

Hi ValeraGolyb, The patent we have in Australia, China and Japan is a process patent NOT a product patents. A product patent is when you build or create something unique such as a new drug. We did not create a new drug we are using FDA approved and already patented drugs.

In those countries, we only have a process patent. Here is a good example of a process patent. You want to build a new car for a new company. Lets call it the Fast Car Company. So to build this you buy a Ferrari engine, a Ford transmission and a Volvo rear end. And you take these other car company parts and you put them together in such a unique way that you have this awesome fast car. Fastest street car out there.

You could not get a product patent for this fast car because you have used other companies parts BUT... you can get a process patent that states you combined these other company parts in a very unique way that makes the process to build your fast car unique.

The problem is process patents are very expensive to defend and protect because someone could use every part you used and in the same process as you used them but added just one more part that your fast car did not use. That said, legally they have NOT infringed on your process patent. So we did not want to spend a lot of money to get a process patent in the US. Very expensive to constantly defend in court.

But what we do have is a propriety trade secret. And the trade secret laws in the US are stronger than most patents.

A long answer but hope it explains everything.

I have a question regarding patents too. It was said, that at the moment this method is using in China only, right? So, Australian and Japanese patents mean that there is a plan to expand to this countries, don't they?

The treatment is already being use in China by Dr. Tsang. And yes we plan at some point to open both dog and people clinics in Australia and Japan. The dog clinics are easier to open anywhere because the laws regulating drug use with dogs less restrictive. You see most drugs used on dogs ARE human drugs. There are only a few drugs specifically for dogs. So Veterinarians of able to you the human drugs on dogs under a "off label" rule.
