Avant,

Why did you not file a Patent on Sesamin? You would had the lockdown and a retirement product.

take care

WW did it with AA at molecular and its super similiar but I understand nevertheless. I wish avant the best and look forward to innovation.

take care
 
Sesamin and AA are not similar.
 
Use patents can be had, but I think there was some previous product with sesamin sold for weightloss. Avant is the one that first developed a true market for it and produced an affordable product.

on a side, patents are issued too easily sometimes and can be thrown out just as easy when challenged. Many of the patents issued on traditional medicinal plants are now in jeopardy. Basically, if a historical use can be found in the literature the patent can be voided. Tumeric was one of the first to be thrown out, I believe Neem and a few others have fallen as well. If its not a new use, then it is not a valid patent. I imagine several patents like this are and will be challenged soon. So if you see something like "used in ayurvedic medicine for hundreds/thousands of years... and patent pending" in the same product writeup, that patent either won't be granted.. or won't hold up when challenged.

I don't recall the name, might be able to dig that up on M&M. Regardless, it wasn't a company in the bb/fitness supplement world. There were some research companies selling it just before avant released sesathin but the interest in selling it came from the threads on avant where spook et al were discussing it. Even at their prices, it wasn't even close to a practical product to consider. Even if they weren't the first to ever sell it, they were still the innovators in the production and marketing of sesamin as an affordable supplement.

That took more hours than I can even begin to communicate.
