KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 (Bernama) -- Axiom Foods Inc. (Axiom), a Los Angeles-based maker of plant proteins, has been awarded its first application patent for any rice protein, U.S. Patent No. 9,820,504 for its Oryzatein rice protein.
The 'method of use' protection has granted exclusive right to Axiom to use the clinically-shown product claims for multiple versions of Axiom's Oryzatein organic brown rice protein.
The claims are specifically increased muscle mass, increased strength, increased power output, a decrease in fat to muscle ratio, increased VO2 max, and increased endurance.
The now protected Axiom's Oryzatein product claims are based on clinical trials which showed that this brown rice protein equals animal-based whey protein in muscle building, maintenance and recovery.
Other clinical trials using Oryzatein have shown that the muscle-building amino acid, leucine, absorbs faster than other rice proteins and whey proteins.
Axiom Foods will offer licensing opportunities for manufacturers to use the patented claims when formulating with Oryzatein brown rice protein.
Any rice protein manufacturers and finished product manufacturers using other rice proteins in conjunction with any of the above muscle and endurance-related claims in sports formulations, will be in violation of the patent and Axiom will enforce infringement to the maximum extent of the law.
The inventor of Oryzatein rice protein and chief executive officer of Axiom, David Janow said the company expected four other patents to be issued shortly, with another 18 pending application and process patents.
From the four patents, one is a United States patent and three are foreign patents for Australia, China and Hong Kong.
