Milestone Scientific Secures Key Patent Approvals in the U.S. and Europe
ROSELAND, N.J., July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE: MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today announced receipt of multiple Notices of Allowance (NOA) for essential patent applications in both the U.S. and Europe.
One NOA was granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and one NOA was granted by the European Patent Office for a new patent titled “Device and Method for Needle/Catheter Location Utilizing Correlation Analysis.” These patent applications cover Milestone Scientific’s next-generation Dynamic Pressure Sensing® (DPS) technology for real-time pressure-sensing guidance in manual injection systems. The innovative DPS technology enables fluid-pressure analysis to compare pressure signals, alert pressure thresholds, and display pressure graphs, in order to ensure accurate positioning of needles and catheters, as well as enhance the safety and precision of manual injections.
Additionally, Milestone Scientific received an NOA from the European Patent Office for a patent application titled “Device and Method for Identification of a Target Region.” This patent application relates to the new CompuPulse System, which identifies pulsatile pressure waveforms in various applications, thereby improving the reliability and safety of drug delivery using manual syringes. A corresponding patent for this technology has already been granted in the United States.
Arjan Haverhals, CEO and President of Milestone Scientific, stated, “These Notices of Allowance in the United States and Europe significantly broaden the intellectual property foundation of our injection and drug delivery systems. These advancements not only reinforce our leadership in the computerized injection market but also open new avenues for our technology in diverse markets and applications.”
