COMPASS Pathways plc
- Patent Trial & Appeal Board denied institution of post-grant review for US patents 10,947,257 and 10,954,259 on June 22, 2022.
- Freedom to Operate had filed petitions challenging patentability on three grounds: improper subject matter, obviousness, and lack of enablement.
- Decision upholds validity of key patents covering COMPASS's psilocybin-related intellectual property.
- Outcome removes near-term patent invalidation risk for Compass Pathways.
