Dr. Michael Shannon, Medizone’s Director of Medical Affairs, stated, “The CDC estimates that food-borne illness caused by these and other contaminants affects 76 million people in the United States each year, leading to about 300,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths.”

This is one additional step toward building a patent fence around our primary patents that we believe greatly enhances the company’s intellectual property protection.
