Ashley Wood, PhD, Zomedica's Vice President of Research & Development, stated, "These patents cover innovations that enable the TRUFORMA system to detect a wider array of health conditions, from thyroid and adrenal disorders to gastrointestinal and pancreatic diseases, swiftly and with great precision, empowering veterinarians to enhance the quality of care they provide, which is at the heart of everything we do at Zomedica."

With the addition of these patents, Zomedica now holds a total of 65 U.S. patents and 123 international patents, with 33 U.S. and 98 foreign trademarks, strengthening the Company's market position. The Company additionally has 62 patent applications pending in the U.S. and abroad.

"The addition of these new patents to our portfolio is a testament to Zomedica's innovative spirit and dedication to veterinary excellence," stated Larry Heaton, Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica. "These new patents not only expand our intellectual property portfolio but also reinforce our capability to deliver industry-leading diagnostic solutions. Our TRUFORMA platform is setting a new standard in veterinary care, providing unique assays not possible with other point of care analyzers, and empowering vets with the tools they need to diagnose and treat animals more effectively at the point of care."
