Moolec Science secures U.S. patent for Piggy Sooy technology

Moolec Science (MLEC) has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its proprietary Piggy Sooy technology – soybean plant engineered to express high levels of porcine hemeproteins in their seeds. The U.S. patent covers the plants and seeds, the method used to develop them, and food compositions derived from this breakthrough innovation. In April 2024, the USDA-APHIS confirmed that Piggy Sooy does not present plant pest risk difference from conventional soybeans, determining it is not subject to regulation under 7 CFR part 340. This patent provides Moolec with exclusive commercial rights to Piggy Sooy technology in the U.S. until 2042.
