Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I was just searching for information about Wu Mei (Prunus Mume ) and its antihelminthic properties and Google came up with the following site : " United States Patent Application 20010000144 Kind Code A1 Keller, Robert H. ; et al. April 5, 2001 Symptomatic relief of allergic reactions " which seems to be a patent application for a Chinese herb formula with no extra add ons - just the herbs. Does anyone know whether this is 'allowed'? can you patent TCM Fx? I know there has been attempts to patent traditional varieties of plants eg. basmati rice but herb Fx in the TCM pharmacopoeia??!! I couldn't work out from the site whether the application was pending/refused/granted. It seems shocking to me. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
