For a newcomer, building compliant capacity can take years and heavy capital, with FDA inspections and batch-release rules raising the bar. That keeps the threat of new entrants low and helps incumbents and focused developers like Imunon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatent and know-how protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImunon, Inc.'s proprietary PlaCCine and TheraPlas platforms, plus formulation know-how, make fast imitation hard.
