CV Sciences Inc. (OTCMKTS:CVSI) has announced that it plans to submit a Request of Continued Examination of its 15/426,617 patent application with the US Patent Trademark Office. The patent is titled Pharmaceutical Formulations Containing Cannabidiol and Nicotine For Treating Smokeless Tobacco Addiction.
Filing for an RCE
The intention to file for a Request of Continued Examination comes after the USPTO notified CV Sciences that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined their appeal to reverse the decision of the examiner to deny specific claims that were made in the company’s patent application.
The Chief Executive Officer of CV Sciences, Joseph Dowling, stated that the decision of USPTO was disappointing. It was important to note that it was not the end of the process. He added that the company plans to make the request continued examination. He said that they are confident in the protection of the company’s intellectual property regarding the formulation as well as the ability of CV Sciences to commercialize the invention.
Dowling indicated that they believe the innovation will offer a solution to the persistent epidemic in smokeless tobacco addiction. He added that the company would remain focused on the development of proprietary products that can enhance the quality of life of its customers.

The company’s PlusCBD oil is top-selling hemp-derived CBD product, and according to the CEO, consumers choose the product because of its quality, purity, and consistency.
