The DuraGraft patent portfolio includes granted patents and pending applications in over 30 countries throughout the world, including patents granted in Europe, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, and several Asian countries, and pending applications in the US and other countries.

Additionally, a patent application covering Marizyme’s Krillase enzyme technology was allowed in Europe.
