Follica

Well it's not so insane to think that the reason they have not released detailed information on the outcome of their human trials might be the fact that they have seen some success.

Anyone who wants to commercialize a product like this needs to make sure they do not set up the wrong type of expectations people like us are making with our speculation. Especially if the product is still in development.

We will just have to wait and see.

Reckless was talking about competitors not consumers. Also, there's little difference in 'expectations' between releasing information entitled 'seeing success in human clinical trials' pictures or no pictures.

Some posts on this forum just bewilder me.

My only hope is that the reason they haven't released any pictures is because the results are so amazing that it would scare their competitors.

I'm probably wrong though!

If I was a patent attorney I would kill myself having to read and write crap like that all day.

i do not believe follica, it is not the first time they say we found the cure and there is no pictures to proof anything too. am not excited about this. sorry

Exactly and seeing Dr.Cost having share in his company show that he believe in it and probably will made alot of money from it (if it work for real). Money well deserve in my opinion! If he release this treatment I will probably donate him money every years of my life still just to thanks him!

I think what that means is "there's more to it and we're not disclosing it but we are patenting for the foundation and what comes next is covered by the patent"

The fact that Cots has some sort of connection to large pharma is good but might not be related to his work at follica as all the leading research institutes are constantly interacting with big pharma to some degree and in the context of multiple projects.

thats a boilerplate paragraph put into all patents... I'm no seeing any significants from it....

[Artha]

Notice the very last paragraph

[00123] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but it is intended to cover modifications that are within the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

That?

Following the recent Garza interview, I really think that one of us really needs to get in contact with PureTech to find out if Follica actually are undergoing trials (a simple yes or no answer would suffice I guess).

Yeah I was thinking that earlier.

Will email them this weekend. They will probably disclose nothing but I will ask anyway
