Patent No. EP4054620 (titled "Glp-1 Receptor Agonists In Dementia") was filed by Novo Nordisk on Nov 5, 2020. The application was issued on May 29, 2024.
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, offers a new therapeutic approach for preventing or slowing dementia progression. Administering semaglutide to individuals with metabolic syndrome or other conditions associated with increased dementia risk, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity, has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia in clinical trials. The treatment's mechanism of action involves modulating metabolic pathways to improve cognitive function and reduce inflammation, with potential benefits extending to other conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
