Martek gains new Euro patent on ARA for infant formulas

13/04/2007 - Martek has added a new patent to its store of European
intellectual property on ARA from Mortierella alpine microorganisms for
infant formulas, reinforcing its position after an opposition hearing in
2005 narrowed the scope of the original.
[snip]

On a worldwide basis the company has some 700 patents either already granted
or pending. 

Martek says its ARA is used in infant formulas sold in more than 60
countries worldwide. Such use is driven by a desire to replicate the
nutritional properties of breast milk as closely as possible so that babies
who cannot - for whatever reason - receive their mother's milk are not at a
nutritional disadvantage. 

The company says that its ARA is used in 85 per cent of infant formula
products sold in the United States.
