Stacey S. Miller 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).

  • High viscosity liquid controlled delivery system and medical or surgical device
    Patent number: 7833543
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nonpolymeric compounds and compositions that form liquid, high viscosity materials suitable for the delivery of biologically active substances in a controlled fashion, and for use as medical or surgical devices. The materials can optionally be diluted with a solvent to form a material of lower viscosity, rendering the material easy to administer. This solvent may be water insoluble or water soluble, where the water soluble solvent rapidly diffuses or migrates away from the material in vivo, leaving a higher viscosity liquid material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2010
    Assignee: Durect Corporation
    Inventors: John W. Gibson, Stacey S. Miller, John C. Middleton, Arthur J. Tipton
