Lexaria Files New Patent Application

Lexaria Bioscience Corporation (CSE:LXX,OTCQB:LXRP) announces the filing of a new provisional patent application and stock and option awards.
Lexaria has successfully filed a new provisional patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), No. 62/519,511, with a filing date of June 14, 2017. The new patent application expands Lexaria’s lipophilic food and beverage composition claims to now include microwave (dielectric energy) processing as well as heating/dehydration in a vacuum environment.
The patent application covers processing of cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs and nicotine. The acceptance by the USPTO of this new application is another step in Lexaria’s process of continually strengthening its intellectual property portfolio utilizing all of the most commonly used food processing techniques available.
