This patent is a "Protected complex of Procaine for the treatment of symptoms from Narcotics Addiction, Tinnitus and Alzheimer's disease." It is part of a drug composition, which is comprised of a protected complex of Procaine and another agent, similar to Anticort. (TM) Therefore, this is considered extremely valuable to STGI since it is already granted. The award of the pioneering patent for the use of Procaine as an anticortisol may prove to be the most lucrative yet, in as much as this patent was granted in September 1990 and has seven years left on it. This patent (invention), which had lapsed due to non-payment of filing fees, was assigned to its owner and now seller, as a settlement in a lawsuit and had to be reinstated. STGI paid the filing fees to get it reinstated, which was granted. Ms. Johnson, the seller stated "I am personally thrilled that after an arduous 10 year legal battle, I was awarded 100% rights to this coveted patent. I eagerly look forward to getting this needed treatment to the market to help those who are suffering from these maladies, particularly Alzheimer's." She further stated "I feel honored to be working with Dr. Janet Greeson, Bert Wollen and Eugene Boyle and have all the confidence in the world that they are capable of ensuring distribution of this drug to the world in a competent and efficient manner." Dr. Janet Greeson, president of STGI stated " I am very excited about this, strengthening our intellectual property estate is the primary factor in creating and protecting the value of STGI for its shareholders."
