Allowed claims cover major features of pumping mechanism in FDA-cleared MODD1 product
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2024 / Modular Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:MODD) ("Modular Medical" or the "Company"), an insulin delivery technology company with the first FDA-cleared patch pump designed specifically to target all adult "almost-pumpers" thanks to its user-friendly and affordable design, announced the issuance of U.S. Divisional Patent Application No. 17/968,599.
"The issuance of this patent and the associated claims represent a major step in our efforts to protect the intellectual property in the MODD1 pump platform," stated Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical. "Some of the key features of our novel, low-cost and accurate insulin delivery technology are now protected by this important issued U.S. patent, which we believe represents a significant new barrier to entry.
