Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

In that case I will buy more

Interims will be out on 29/9/2004 - I bought more today as the interim is most likely to be favourable. We think alike, Janus!

1.18 today

Janus, excuse the ignorance but who are Christows?

Broker just appointed by BPRG, like their calculations.

sorry wrong thread.

I'm led to believe the court result will be out on Friday, should be an interesting day if true.

Janus-well done -confirmed by bprg

Bioprogress to make 'significant' announcements in near future
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - BioProgress PLC said that it expects to make further significant announcements in the next few months, as the group, which makes soluble edible films for the pharmaceutical market, announced results for the first half to June 30 2004.

First half sales were 992,000 stg, while pretax losses came in at 3.8 mln stg, after administrative expenses of 4.4 mln stg -- which included a number of exceptionally high legal, consultancy and other items that are not expected to reoccur.

The results are effectively the first full interim results as the previous interims covered only a few weeks from 22 May 2003 to 30 June 2003.

As at 30 June 2004, BioProgress had cash of 13.3 mln stg.

'In the last few months, we have signed exciting new agreements with FMC, Perrigo, Wyeth and Micap. These interim results can only begin to reveal the potential behind these agreements, as well as our work with customers like Colgate Palmolive,' commented Graham Hind, Chief Executive.

'We have a very strong balance sheet and we expect to be making further significant announcements in the coming months.'

Definately agree with you on this one Hyleo. Whatever the result of the CC, I feel sure that BPGR will be making a succession of announcements over the coming months, agreements / contracts etc and will be a BUY for the forseeable future.

Press Release 1 October 2004

High Court victory for BioProgress in Patent Entitlement case


In a 100 per cent victory in a dispute with Stanelco Fibre Optics Limited,
BioProgress Technology Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of BioProgress plc
(LSE: AIM: BPRG), has been awarded outright ownership of the master patent that
gives it exclusive worldwide rights to the process of making capsules from non-
gelatin materials by means of radio frequency ('RF').


This master patent controls the group of patents that were the subject of this
case and no commercial exploitation of the patented technology is permissible
without the consent of BioProgress.


The Court also found that discussions between BioProgress and Stanelco in the
summer of 1998 were subject to confidentiality. The Judge held that because
Stanelco had misused information given to them in confidence by BioProgress,
Stanelco had breached an obligation of confidence owed, by founding their own
family of patents and patent applications to the technology based on
BioProgress' core inventive concept.


There will now be a further hearing to determine the mechanism of transfer of
ownership of the main patent to BioProgress, together with all other patents and
patent applications worldwide which are derived from the original main patent
filing. In addition, the Court will be asked to assess the damages to be
awarded to BioProgress for Stanelco's misuse of BioProgress' confidential
information.


Graham Hind, CEO of BioProgress, said: 'This judgement validates the position we
have taken during the proceedings. The technology will strengthen significantly
our position in the global encapsulation market and adds significant revenue
earning potential to our SWALLOTM. liquid capsule technologies.


'By combining the intellectual property in this patent with our existing
technologies, BioProgress will now be able to deliver an even more
cost-effective, product enhancing, animal free solution to the encapsulation of
liquids which is a truly large global market.'

SEO will Appeal!

The uncertainty continues!

Commenting on the court's decision, Stanelco Chief Executive Ian Balchin said
'We are obviously pleased to have won outright on our entitlement to two of the
three patents families. We disagree with the court's reasoning in relation to
the remaining issues.

However, we believe that we have good prospects of
appealing the court's decision and this is the course we will be following.

Stanelco's business has continued to develop since the action was brought, with
a number of new applications for our RF technology - which do not rely upon
these patents. These include food tray lidding, which now represents a very
significant part of Stanelco's future projected revenues.'

Appeal, interesting can they afford it ?
