Nextleaf Solutions Granted German Patent for CBD Oil Extraction (CSE:OILS) (OTCQB:OILFF)

  • May 4, 2020

Home / Press Releases / Nextleaf Solutions Granted German Patent for CBD Oil Extraction (CSE:OILS) (OTCQB:OILFF)

Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (CSE: OILS), Canada’s most innovative cannabis extractor, announced today that it has been issued patents in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom pertaining to the Company’s proprietary technology for post-extraction processing of cannabinoids.

Nextleaf’s unique method of extracting and separating cannabinoids and terpenes makes it possible to purify and concentrate the desired compounds, which can be used for the manufacturing of a diverse array of products standardized for dose.

These patents extend the Company’s existing patent portfolio to include methodologies relating to the removal of fats and waxes from crude cannabis oil extracts in far less time, achieving more efficient throughput rates, and refined distillate. Unrefined botanical extracts contain chlorophyll, fats, and other impurities that result in undesirable flavours and aromas when consumed. Nextleaf can apply this advantage to a variety of primary extraction methods, such as supercritical CO2 or ethanol.

Over the past year, the Company has advanced its intellectual property (“IP“) stack, being granted 24 issued patents, with over 60 additional pending patents, pertaining to the extraction, purification, and formulation of cannabinoids. The Company believes it has developed defendable intellectual property around the most efficient methods for producing distilled THC and CBD oils at scale within a regulated environment.

“Nextleaf’s team of chemists and engineers have done a great job translating innovation into one of the largest stacks of IP for the industrial-scale extraction and distillation of CBD and THC,” stated Taran Grey, IP Director of the Company. “It is an exciting time with commercial oil production commencing at Nextleaf Labs”.

With the commercial launch of the Company’s industrial-scale extraction plant, and up to 25 metric tons of cannabis biomass under contract through Nextleaf Labs, the Company expects to rapidly scale its business through the remainder of 2020.

The Company believes securing patent protection in Europe, specifically Germany and the U.K., is key to its long-term intellectual property and commercial strategy. Germany exported the highest dollar value of pharmaceuticals of any country in 2019, and had more sales of medical cannabis than all of the other European countries combined, representing one of the most important cannabis markets outside North America. Prohibition Partners projects the legal cannabinoid market in the U.K., which legalized medical cannabis in 2018, to reach US$3 billion in 2024. 

The German, France, and U.K. patents mirror a patent previously granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 2019. The Company initially files its patents in the United States to create a priority date and allow for future filings in other selected jurisdictions. Following the issuance of its patent in the United States, Nextleaf filed for patent protection in jurisdictions that the Company believes will be commercially valuable over the next 20 years.

Nextleaf Solutions trades as OILS on the Canadian Securities Exchange, OILFF on the OTCQB Market in the United States, and L0MA on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
