Intellectual Property:
Powering Differentiation

At Strides, we embed IP strategy into every phase of the development lifecycle. Our dedicated IP team works closely with R&D, regulatory, and commercial functions to:

Identify and secure first-to-file, first-to-market opportunities

Navigate IP barriers for early market entry.

Protect innovations through strategic patent portfolios.

Unlock value through licensing and partnerships.

This approach enables us to build differentiated portfolios across emulgels, nasal sprays, and fixed-dose combinations while creating lasting competitive advantage.

Packaging that Thinks Ahead

Packaging at Strides is more than a protective layer, it’s a strategic enabler of product performance, safety, and compliance. We design future-ready packaging that enhances usability, extends shelf life, and supports sustainable global market access.

From moisture-sensitive formulations to patient-friendly inhalation systems, our capabilities include

Safe and compliant with global regulatory frameworks

Sustainable, using eco-smart, recyclable materials

Secure, with anti-counterfeiting measures for global distribution

Functional, supporting cold-chain, topical, and inhalation formats

Innovating Responsibly

Sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s a foundation. We embed responsible practices across our R&D and packaging processes, embracing green chemistry, energy-efficient operations, and low-impact packaging designs.

We continuously evolve our practices to meet global environmental, health, and safety benchmarks ensuring that our innovations are not only effective but also responsible and future-ready.
