Hey Snake eye me too.
I frequently google the news and look at the shareprice, when
I should be working.
I just found this in the Press:
US PATENT FOR BLIS PLAQUE
Blis Technologies continues to make headway with its bad breath and anti-tooth decay products _ signing a United States patent on the plaque protection probiotic.
Chief executive Barry Richardson said Blis was already well known as the manufacturer of Blis K12, an oral probiotic for the treatment of chronic bad breath and infections.
But the South Island-based firm wanted to affirm it was developing a wider range of products including an advanced oral probiotic called MIA, effective in protecting teeth from dental plaque.
Blis had just been granted a US patent for MIA, and commercialisation of the product was about two years away.
"This represents a major milestone in our research and development programme ... Blis is not a single product company," Richardson said.
"Now we've had that patent issued, we're in position to be able to talk to international and US players about licensing opportunities and product development opportunities with that particular strain."
Blis chief scientific officer Chris Chilcott said MIA enabled important protection against plaque. "We believe the new MIA probiotic can be used to suppress levels of Streptococcus mutans, the principal cause of dental plaques."
The company had yet to emphasise its work on its skincare and body odour reduction products. "As we get (various) patents granted it broadens our base in terms of commercialisation."
Meanwhile, Blis' existing K12 range of probiotic products had gained important media coverage in both Australia on a current affairs programme and on TV3's Campbell Live show.
Blis shares rose 0.6c to close at 9.9c yesterday.
