Puritan Wins 6 Year Battle to Correct Erroneous Copan Patent Title

November 15, 2018 | GUILFORD, ME (U.S.) – Puritan Medical Products Co., LLC, an American company with a worldwide reputation as a trusted manufacturer of swabs and single-use specimen collection devices, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office recently granted its petition to correct the title of Copan’s US Patent No. 8,114,027 B2.

Before correction, the title erroneously indicated that the patent was directed to a “Swab for Collecting Biological Specimens.” In fact, the patent is not for a swab but is instead for a method. The corrected title, “Method for Collecting Biological Specimens,” now reflects this.
