Yes but, nothing about the components of many of the drugs that people make are unique, have a novel manufacturing process, or a novel delivery method. My interpretation of what they are attempting to patent is the rapid delivery of phentolamine as a therapy to treat impotence, not their formulation. For instance, If I were a doctor and I decided I wanted to treat ED, I would be prohibited from violating their patent by giving someone phentolamine in any rapidly absorbable fashion.

In fact it clearly states that other methods of delivery are part of their claims. For instance a shot in the arm, dissolving it in water and drinking it.

I wonder if this is a patentable claim. For instance I could try to patent driving my car as a means to get to work, but the process of driving and getting to work are too obvious.

Thoughts anyone?
