U.S. Patent No. 10,258,601 B1 (‘601) issued on April 16, 2019, entitled ”Vaporizable Cannabinoid Compositions.” It was issued to applicant/inventor Stephen C. Perry of Norwood, Massachusetts. The specification discloses various embodiments for cannabis-based compositions for pharmacological delivery, specifically through vaporized form. Various cannabinoids are included in possible compositions, including alkamides, e.g., dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide (i.e., key ingredient in Echinacea), anandamides, e.g., N-Arachidonoylethanolamine, and terpenes, e.g., caryophyllene, myrcene. The ‘601 claims are directed to vaporizable compositions comprising a bio-active ingredient (e.g., CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC, CBV), and a carrier solution comprised of glycerin or glycerol, ethanol, lecithin, fatty alcohol, and a liposome.
There were no drawings submitted with the application.
The Cooperative Patent Classification is A61K, preparations for medical, dental, or toilet purposes, namely, medical preparations containing organic active ingredients, namely, phenols (31/05) condensed with carbocyclic rings (31/352); medical preparations characterized by special physical form, namely, pulmonary tract, aromatherapy (9/007); medicinal preparations of undetermined constitution containing material from algae, lichens, fungi or plants, namely, magnoliopsida (36/185), Astereaceae or Compositae, e.g., chamomile, feverfew, yarrow, or echinacea (36/28); and medical preparations characterized by the non-active ingredients used, e.g., carriers or inert additives, namely, esters of carboxylic acids (47/14).
Cannabis patents still represent a huge growth area for patent procurement and development, as the legalized industry is still in its infancy throughout much of the country. Without having analyzed the data sets, there does seem to be an uptick in patent applications being filed embodying vaporizable products, directed to compositions, methods, or systems.
