India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) (FRA: IGS1) anticipates a Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) filing application by February 28, 2018, for IGC-506, which is designed for the treatment of multiple types of eating disorders in humans, as well as animals in the veterinary market. The company anticipates a U.S. and national filing by August 28, 2019, the company announced (http://nnw.fm/G1Er8). A PCT filing is an international patent filing effective in a number of foreign countries (http://nnw.fm/9PleC).

The company has a number of provisional patent filings, either already made or anticipated in the future, which could raise its valuation. It already has three products, scheduled for pre-clinical trials, featuring provisional filings for patents.
