01 · What is protected
Three layers of differentiation.
Strain identity
MTCC 25308 and ATCC PTA-126364 provide traceable identification and distinguish Bacospore® from generic B. coagulans materials that may not disclose strain-level identity.
Trademark & brand
The Bacospore® name and logo identify the branded ingredient supplied by Star Hi Herbs. Use on finished products is subject to written brand-use authorization and label review.
Patent position
Star Hi Herbs holds a 41-filing IP portfolio across its botanical, probiotic and plant-based nutrient platforms, including five PCT applications. Bacospore® protection rests on deposited strain identity, controlled fermentation know-how and the registered trademark.
