📢 SERIES: Yes, you can patent food! ⚖️
🥗 Quorn™ presently owned by Monde Nissin Corp.

✍🏻 Quorn was launched in 1985 by Marlow Foods Ltd. Quorn is a corn mycoprotein refined from fermented Fusarium venenatum fungus. Over the decades, ownership of the Quorn business and its associated IP have passed between various multinationals (AstraZenca, Premier Foods), and is now in the hands of Monde Nissin. The original Quorn patents, directed to the core technology, expired nearly a decade ago. However, over the years, the various owners of Quorn have built up an impressive patent portfolio directed to derivative products and processes. Patent protection of Quorn has undoubtedly helped to maintain its position as a market leading meat substitute.
