ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
LecTec announced today that the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO)
has completed a re-examination of LecTec's U.S. Patent No. 5,536,263 and has
issued a re-examination certificate for the patent. The '263 patent is entitled
"Non-Occlusive Adhesive Patch for Applying Medication to the Skin" and covers
the design for adhesive patches which contain a reservoir of medication to be
delivered into the body by absorption through the skin. Patches produced under
the '263 patent have been used for a number of applications including, among
others, the localized treatment of pain and the delivery by infusion of certain
medications for systemic conditions. The re-examination, which was commenced at
the request of LecTec in December 2000 in Application No. 90/005,877, concluded
with the issuance of the re-examination certificate on April 24, 2007.
Additional information concerning the re-issued patent can be obtained on the
