Renaissance BioScience Expands Global Patent Protection for Yeast-Based RNA Technology with Mexican Grant

Renaissance BioScience Corp. has been granted a patent by the Mexican patent office for its innovative yeast-based platform technology that enables low-cost production and effective delivery of RNA. This marks the third patent issued for the company's RNA technology following earlier grants in China and Australia, with additional jurisdictions pending. The new patent expands Renaissance's robust intellectual property portfolio of issued and pending patents for yeast-based technology across multiple end-use markets.

The company's most advanced commercial application of this RNA production and delivery system is a suite of RNAi-based biopesticide products that provide precise, targeted pest control. These products offer a strong environmental safety profile compared with broad-spectrum chemical pesticides, while maintaining competitive production costs at scale. The technology integrates smoothly into current farming practices and equipment, potentially reducing barriers to adoption for farmers seeking more sustainable alternatives.

Dr. John Husnik, Renaissance's CSO and Office of the CEO, stated that the Mexican patent confirms the novelty and importance of the yeast-based RNA technology for producing, protecting and delivering next-generation RNA bioactive molecules. Beyond biopesticides, the platform offers opportunities across a wide range of multi-billion-dollar commercial markets, suggesting potential applications beyond agriculture that could leverage the same core technology.

The expansion of patent protection into Mexico represents a strategic move for Renaissance BioScience as it builds global intellectual property rights for its technology platform. With patents now secured in North America, Asia, and Australia, the company is establishing international barriers to entry for competitors while creating licensing opportunities across multiple regions. This patent strategy could accelerate commercialization efforts by providing legal protection in key agricultural markets.

For the agricultural industry, the development of RNAi-based biopesticides using this technology could address growing concerns about chemical pesticide resistance and environmental impact. The precision targeting of pests without harming beneficial insects or contaminating soil and water represents a significant advancement in sustainable agriculture. As regulatory pressure increases on traditional chemical pesticides globally, technologies like Renaissance's could gain market share by offering effective alternatives with improved safety profiles.

The broader implications extend to multiple industries that could benefit from low-cost RNA production and delivery systems. The company's platform technology may enable new applications in areas such as human and animal health, where RNA-based therapeutics represent a growing field of innovation. The scalability and cost-effectiveness of yeast-based production could make RNA technologies more accessible across various sectors, potentially accelerating research and development in fields that have been limited by production challenges.
