ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) (“the Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, announced today that it has retained the services of Clarivate™, a leading global provider of information services including IP lifecycle management solutions. Under terms of the agreement, Clarivate will manage, maintain, and track the Company’s intellectual property assets and technology rights, and serve as an advisor for strategic IP and patent expansion in support of pipeline development.
Silo Pharma engages in the acquisition, licensing, and development of intellectual property and technology rights from leading universities and researchers, including the use of psychedelic drugs.

“Our new agreement with Clarivate gives us the opportunity to step up our intellectual property and patent expansion efforts and reinforce protection for our novel assets under development,” said Eric Weisblum, Chief Executive Officer of Silo Pharma. “Clarivate’s IP intelligence solutions will provide insights and clarity to inform our pursuit of future opportunities.”
