Yep, that's absolutely right Thomas.
The patent extension should be completed early 2020.
I remember when the RNS was announced regarding the patent extension. There were two pieces of news released that day and Mr Barder stressed it was the patent application that was the more important of the two news releases that day (the details escape me right now)
So it's very important. The preferred formulation showed an increased efficacy. Other copy cat companies may be able to copy the older formulation though, however getting it approved by the FDA will be tricky if they can't show it is like for like to the "preferred formulation".. in other words, the copy cat companies will be stuffed till 2038!
We also have 10 years of protection in Europe after launch (irrespective of patent protection)
