I'm hoping some of our experienced pharamceutical guys can interpret this latest update for us. No more guessing please.

The decision to grant a European patent takes legal effect only from the day when the European Patent Bulletin mentions the grant. The publication of this mention in the European Patent Bulletin marks the start of the three-month period for supplying the translation of the text in which the European patent has been granted to each national patent office, in order to have an effective protection in each country. The publication of this mention also marks the start of the nine-month period for giving notice of opposition to the patent to the EPO.

So basically the patent is legally backed from 28th March. Maybe the lotion really is coming out at some point soon?

Soon is not a couple of days in term of medical research.

Also yeah the stem cell stuff in Japan is great but anyone who thinks it will come out in 2020 is very optimistic. Also do you realize that stem cells requires you to be mostly bald already and will be expensive as f***?

It is when theres only 2 days left of research.

I would hope Shiseido will be around in the early 20's - which wont require any baldness. I see what you're saying about Tsuji, however as they haven't mentioned how it would be delivered, doesn't mean delivery can be done around/amongst existing hair. You're right though im sure Tsuji wont be around for another 5-10 years.
A) There is no clinical trial being conducted for Brotzu's potion.
B) Organ Germ Technology ain't targeted for bigger norwoods only.
C) How can someone be sure about something we know very little about?
That is oxymoron af.

A) There isn't an FDA\EMA style clinical trial but they were definetely testing it.
B) Yeah because it is really easy to go every 2 years to Japan, right? Also it will probably require several days unlike a normal hair transplant. Again, I really hope it works but at this point I wouldn't hold my breath.
C) WIshful thinking. If you have been on this forum for some time, you should know very well why.


Regarding the patent -> Yes, they could have released the lotion anyway and still be partially protected (legally) but after the release they are fully protected. Also if they don't plan on releasing it then why keep going with the process?

B') It's weeks, not days. Even worse, haha.
C') I have no thoughts at all. Guessing without knowing much ain't my thing, though. It could be five, ten, twenty years or just a couple of years.

Same.
But you should ask this in another section.

Has there ever been a company in history that has gone "Let's wait for this patent to be officially granted in 3 years so we can finally market our product the day after."?

Brotzu was the one to originally file for the patent with no intention of ever mass-producing or marketing the lotion himself. This was way before he sold it to Fidia, so it's not a leap in logic to assume Fidia might not have plans to mass-produce and market it either.

Excluding the best-case scenario where it works and there are no complications producing it, the next best-case scenario is it works, Fidia can't figure out how to mass-produce it, but having a granted patent is a better bargaining chip to either sell the patent with or lease off the formula to people who think they can easily produce it and Fidia gets a cut for doing nothing.

It must also be said that patents are not free. I guess it will be released to the market in the next few months.

If the diffuse hair fall occurs only in the upper part of the head, it is probably the same as male pattern baldness. But if the diffuse fall also occurs on the sides of the head, it will not be the common alopecia that we know so well. In some cases it is due to systemic drugs affecting all scalp hairs.
