KIRKLAND, QC, March 8, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Ortho Regenerative Technologies Inc. (CSE: ORTH.CN) ("Ortho RTi" or the "Corporation"), an emerging Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Technology company, today announced it has received a Notice of Allowance from the European Patent Office for European Patent Application Number 10831000.4 entitled, "Novel Forumulation of Physiological Chitosan-Inorganic Salt Solution/Blood Mixtures for Tissue Repair." 

Once the administrative process is complete, the European Patent that issues from this application will provide intellectual property protection for the composition of matter of Ortho RTi's 'Ortho-R' for the biologic repair of tissue.   

"This allowance is from the second series of patent applications we have made to cover our propriety biopolymer platform around the globe," said Ortho RTi's Executive Chairman and CEO, Dr. Brent Norton.  "As awareness and acceptance of the promise that Ortho-R holds for improving the repair of three distinct joint tissues - the rotator cuff tendons, the meniscus and articular cartilage – it is important to ensure that the potential market opportunities these represent are well protected.  To that end, our expanding intellectual property estate should ensure that our game-changing technology has long-term market exclusivity."
