Patents by Inventor Katrine Fruergaard Pontoppidan

Katrine Fruergaard Pontoppidan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10619145
    Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed or animal feed additives comprising polypeptides having protease activity and uses thereof. Specifically, the proteases are serine S1 proteases from Janibacter, Terracoccus and Knoellia, all belonging to the family Intrasporangiaceae of the suborder Micrococcineae. The proteases have a high activity at a broad pH-range (pH 3-7) and are thus highly active during the entire passage through the digestive tract. It also relates to the methods for producing the proteases and for using the proteases to improve animal performance and the nutritional value of animal feed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2020
    Assignee: Novozymes A/S
    Inventors: Tine Hoff, Peter Rahbek Oestergaard, Katrine Fruergaard Pontoppidan
  • Patent number: 10563188
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having protease activity and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the proteases. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells, including plant and animal cells, comprising the nucleic acid sequences, as well as methods for producing and using the proteases, in particular the use of the proteases in animal feed.
