9月20日，诺和诺德口服索马鲁肽片剂（Rybelsus^®）正式获得美国FDA的上市批准，用于结合饮食和运动以改善2型糖尿病成人患者的血糖控制。该药是全球批准的首个口服胰高血糖素样肽-1（GLP-1）受体激动剂药物，每日口服一次，批准的治疗剂量有7 mg和14 mg，将于第四季度在美国上市。

2型糖尿病是最常见的糖尿病，当胰腺不能产生足够的胰岛素使血糖维持在正常水平时，就会发生疾病。GLP-1是一种正常的机体激素，可以减缓消化，防止肝脏产生过多的糖分，并在需要的时候帮助胰腺产生更多的胰岛素，对包括胰腺、心脏和肝脏等在内的多种重要器官具有有益作用。但在2型糖尿病患者体内常常发现GLP-1水平不足。

索马鲁肽属于GLP-1受体激动剂。GLP-1受体激动剂类药物的优点在于可以有效控制血糖，同时明显降低低血糖事件发生率，并且还有明显减轻体重、降心血管事件风险的获益。2017年12月5日，经FDA批准，注射剂型索马鲁肽正式上市，作为长效型的GLP-1受体激动剂，用药方式为每周注射1次。

客观来说，相比于短效注射型降糖药物，长效GLP-1受体激动剂每周仅需注射1次的使用方法减少了患者的用药痛苦，提高了用药依从性。但广大糖尿病患者还是热切期盼着口服剂型的出现。然而，由于索马鲁肽为多肽类药物，想要实现口服、肠道吸收就必须面临肠道中多种肽酶降解的挑战。研究人员通过将索马鲁肽与小分子吸收增强剂SNAC结合形成口服配方，与SNAC的结合使得索马鲁肽能够在胃部完成吸收，并且SNAC的部分溶解能够在胃内局部形成相对高的pH环境，从而提高索马鲁肽的溶解度，减小了胃内肽酶的降解作用。

口服索马鲁肽申请上市以及获批的依据是10项PIONEER临床试验的结果，共涉及9543例成人2型糖尿病患者。PIONEER项目的一系列“头对头”临床试验证实了：相比西格列汀和恩格列净，Rybelsus^®更有效地降低了血糖水平。此外，使用Rybelsus^®治疗实现了高达4.4 kg的体重减轻。在整个PIONEER试验中，Rybelsus^®展示出安全和耐受性良好的特性，最常见的不良事件为轻中度恶心，但随治疗时间延长可逐渐减轻。

诺和诺德的Rybelsus^®目前还在其他注册监管机构进行审核，包括在2019年4月26日向欧洲药品管理局（EMA）提交了口服索马鲁肽用于2型糖尿病的上市申请，以及在2019年7月向日本药品和医疗器械管理局（PMDA）提交了口服索马鲁肽的上市申请。此外，在2019年3月20日还向FDA提交了Rybelsus^®（口服索马鲁肽）用于降低成人2型糖尿病患者心血管事件风险的NDA，以及Ozempic^®（索马鲁肽皮下注射剂）用于降低成人2型糖尿病患者心血管事件风险的新适应症sNDA，这两项申请预计会在2020年1月20日获得批准。

据EvaluatePharma预测，2024年，GLP-1和SGLT-2将在全球TOP10降糖药中占据半壁江山。而作为全球首个口服版GLP-1降糖药，届时口服索马鲁肽的全球销售额有望达到32.3亿美元。

口服索马鲁肽，仅需每日1次口服给药，摆脱了注射带来的不便和心理折磨，同时有优于传统主流药物的降糖和减重效果，还降低了心血管事件风险，是众多糖尿病患者的福音！

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents Recently, Electronic Arts (EA) announced a patent pledge that gives other companies and developers free access to five of its current accessibility-related patents and technology. The company promised not to enforce against any party for infringing any of the listed patents. Instead, EA hopes to encourage “innovation” and build new features that make video games more inclusive on a much larger scale by opening up the patents. Electronic Arts (EA) is an American video game company founded in 1982. The company owns many popular and famous games, such as The Sims, SimCity, Apex Legends, Madden NFL and FIFA. Each of the games has more than 30 or 50 million sales volume. Significantly, esports involves FIFA and Apex Legends into the event list. Apex Legends has up to 1 billion players, and it is so popular that it has a Switch version. Within the freely available patents, one of which grabs everyone’s attention -- Apex Legends’ ping system (patent No. US 11097189). The ping system in Apex Legends, which excellently allows players to make communication and teamwork quick and easy without hearing or speaking, has been praised both as an impressive alternative to voice chat and as a great accessibility feature for players with a variety of disabilities. The other patents include the technology widely used in the FIFA and Madden NFL. The innovations can automatically detect and modify colors (patent No. US 10118097 and CN 107694092) and contrast ratios (patent No. US 10878540) to improve gamers’ visibility with colorblindness and low vision. Furthermore, one of the patents relates to personalized sound technology, helping players with hearing issues by modifying or creating music based on their preferences (patent No. US 10790919). The code of the mentioned technology is published on EA’s GitHub, and it is open to all developers. Thus, the developers can use it or adapt it for their games without spending the costs to research. It is good that EA shares the patents for free use and aims to create an accessibility-increased gaming environment for players. However, it is not “unconditional” to use the listed patents. In the pledge, EA mentioned that it may terminate the promise for a specific party which files a patent infringement lawsuit or other patent proceedings against EA. We can see parts of EV’s ambition behind the announcement—to build a large game developer league and a community of shared interests.

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent In recent years, as the public’s awareness of intellectual property has increased, people have begun to consciously use the patent law to protect their intellectual property rights. However, in the process of implementation, they often only focus on invention patent and utility model patent, and tend to ignore the protection of design patent. Recently, Midea sued Haotaitai for two models of CXW-300-D998 and CXW-300-D908 Haotaitai brand range hoods In the case of suspected infringement of its design patent (patent number: ZL201930621598.X), the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court made a first-instance judgment after hearing that it determined that the two products of Haotaitai constituted infringement, and ordered it to immediately stop the infringement and compensate Midea, The company's economic losses and reasonable expenses totaled 360,000 yuan. In fact, appearance infringement cases have occurred from time to time before, such as: "Molly" blind box design patent case, "Siemens" switch design patent infringement dispute case received a compensation of 6 million yuan, three Casio watch design patents were infringed Received a compensation of 8.8 million yuan and so on. The reason why people ignore the protection of design patents, in the final analysis, is that they have insufficient knowledge of design patents.

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million This August, Nintendo and a game developer Colopl announced that they have settled for patent infringement regarding White Cat Project (Shironeko Project in Japanese), a smartphone game developed by Colopl. Although both companies did not publicly share exact details of the settlement, at least it is sure that Colopl agreed to pay 3.3 billion yen (about US$30.2 million) as the settlement fee for the proceedings, including the future license of Nintendo's patents. How did the battle begin? Being developed and published by a Japanese game developer, Colopl, White Cat Project is a free-to-play action role-playing game for Android and iOS systems. The mobile game was launched in July 2014 as well as got a television anime adaptation in 2020. It is incredibly popular to have more than 50 million downloads. Furthermore, the game is set to receive a Switch version titled "Shironeko New Project". In September 2016, Nintendo noted the Colopl's game and considered that the game had infringed on several of Nintendo's technology patents. The two companies communicated with each other for over a year; however, Nintendo did not accept the explanations from Colopl, and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Colopl at the beginning of 2018. Nintendo claimed that Colopl infringed 6 of its patents. These patents protect touch-screen joystick functionality (patent no. JP3734820), multiplayer connectivity (patent no. JP5595991, JP6271692), confirmation screens in sleep mode (patent no. JP4010533), character attacks based on touch input locations (patent no. JP4262217), and a shadow effect placed on characters hidden behind the game geometry (patent no. JP3637031). These patents almost cover various ways of game technology, especially the patent JP5595991 and JP6271692. Their patent family is wide-reaching, and many divisional applications of the family are pending in Japan. They protect a communication game system and its related devices. It is not easy to detect the patent's existence and boundary since this kind of hardcore technique is so common in the gaming field and our daily lives. The five-year patent war has been settled. After a five-year dispute, the situation appeared to turn in Nintendo's favor as the Switch maker increased its monetary demands, which convinced Colopl to strike a deal that lets it use the disputed patents. Furthermore, a Switch version of White Cat Project remains in the works at Colopl. With the extraordinary losses of Colopl, the legal battle between the two companies came to an end.
