It doesn't work like this - "and 32 months more on average for US national phase." You have to file a patent application with the USPTO - there isn't a US national phase. Plus, with drugs a patent is meaningless in the US - a company has to pass FDA approved clinical trials and that can take many millions of dollars. ITV-1 isn't a approved drug in the US or any other country. Why hasn't ENZC filed with the FDA to start clinical trials? Because ITV-1 has been pumped since 1996. IG
