The patent is valid in the U.S. until 2040, and has been granted in Japan, India, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Russia, South Africa, and Mexico, with pursuit of rights in other regions as well. There is no change to the current period's earnings forecast as a financial impact.\n\n### Business Implications and Outlook\nBondlido is a lidocaine patch product with U.S. regulatory approval, which is expected to offer reduced skin irritation, superior adhesion, and better adhesion during movement compared with Lidoderm. The U.S. lidocaine patch market is estimated at around 44 billion yen, and in the medium to long term could facilitate greater market penetration. The short-term impact on earnings is limited, but the long-term outlook is expected to support earnings growth.","jir_financial_highlights":"Change in this period's earnings forecast: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Medilex, #Bondlido, #PatentAllowance, #PostherpeticNeuralgia","jir_key_figures":"Bondlido: U.S. patent allowance (valid until 2040)\nGeographic rights in the patent family: Japan, India, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Russia, South Africa, Mexico\nMarket size estimate: U.S. lidocaine patch market about 44 billion yen (295 million USD, IQVIA)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Medirex Co., Ltd.\u3011Bondlido U.S. Patent Allowance Notice\uff5cAugust 2026","jir_meta_description":"Medirex Co., Ltd. announces U.S. patent allowance for Bondlido.
