Hi all,

I was wondering if it makes sense that any person or company claim they own molecules including derivatives of Vit. E (Alpha Tocopherol), namely: 

α- tocopheryl phosphate (TP) and di-α-tocopheryl phosphate (T2P)?

I found a very old patent going back to 1949, in which similar molecules are mentioned as general chemical ingredients (please see attached PDF file).
