Bioceres Crop Solutions has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its first event-specific patent covering the HB4 Wheat, IND-ØØ412-7. HB4 wheat offers improved tolerance to drought and enhanced weed management options, whilst the technology has already been approved by the USDA for cultivation and by the FDA for food and feed use in the US. This approval is the first of four potential patents the company is pursuing for HB4 Wheat in the US, securing protection for this technology and associated production system until 2042.
