Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 6, 2018, India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC.PK: IGCC) received notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office of the patent issuance (#10,117,891) for its cannabinoid method and composition for the treatment of pain in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Scleroderma and other conditions. IGC filed this application for its IGC-501 (#15/104,554) on September 16, 2015.

 

A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the USPTO. Generally, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. U.S. patent grants are effective only within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions.

 

Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

 

“Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This report contains forward-looking statements identified by the use of words such as should, believes, plans, goals, expects, may, will, or the negatives thereof, and other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Such statements are based on currently available information, which management has assessed but which is dynamic and subject to rapid change due to risks and uncertainties that affect our business. Our success is highly correlated with the success of our product candidates. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately, or receive patents. We may not receive regulatory approval for our products, or trials. An additional risk factor worth highlighting specifically related to this patent licensing is that the patent application we have licensed may not be granted by the USPTO. We may not have adequate resources including financial resources to successfully conduct the requisite trials. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our products even if they are successful and receive regulatory approval. Our projections anticipate stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, our stock price, and our financial condition. These and other risks are detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, goals, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated.
