From the news:
The
260 Patent is intended to protect the use of the Hemopurifier® in the United
States to treat patients that have a reduced COVID-19 viral load but exhibit
Long COVID symptoms for more than 12 weeks post infection. The 260 Patent
additionally protects the treatment of patients experiencing Long COVID
symptoms by the removal of circulating COVID-19 spike protein.
The
453 Patent is intended to protect the use of the Hemopurifier® for the
treatment of patients that lack circulating COVID-19 viral particles but
exhibit COVID-19-associated CAC.
The
260 Patent was granted an additional 385 days of patent term due to patent term
adjustment and will expire in 2042. The 453 Patent will expire in 2041.
"We
believe securing these patents expands and strengthens our intellectual
property portfolio in areas of significant unmet medical need,” said James
Frakes, CEO and CFO of Aethlon. “While the Hemopurifier® remains in the
research and development stage relating to Long COVID, these protections
position us well as we continue advancing potential future applications. Our
goal is to build a strong foundation of innovation that could one day translate
into meaningful treatment options for patients."
The
Aethlon Hemopurifier® is an investigational medical device designed to remove
enveloped viruses, fragments of viruses, and tumor-derived extracellular
vesicles (EVs) from circulation. It is used extra-corporeally with a blood pump
and combines plasma separation, size exclusion, and affinity binding using a
plant lectin resin that targets mannose-rich surfaces found on EVs and viral
proteins. EVs released by solid tumors are believed to play a role in
metastasis and the resistance to immunotherapies and chemotherapy. Removal of
enveloped viruses, fragments of viruses, and extracellular vesicles has been
demonstrated in both in vitro studies and in human patients.
The
Hemopurifier® holds a US Food and Drug Breakthrough Device Designation for:
The
treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer unresponsive to or
intolerant of standard-of-care therapy; and the treatment of life-threatening
viruses not addressed with approved therapies.
In

Inspira™
Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ:IINN), a
pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies recently announced it
received US Patent approval for low flow rates extracorporeal oxygenation
system and methods of use. This patent represents the core technology of the
ART500 device, a key asset in the Company’s strategy to penetrate the $20
billion estimated market for advanced respiratory support. This innovation has
16 claims found to be novel.
From the news:
The
patent provides further protection for the underlying core technology of
Inspira’s ART500 system, which is designed to provide extracorporeal
oxygenation at low flow rates while maintaining patient safety and treatment
efficiency. This capability targets a large, underserved patient population
that requires respiratory support but may not be sick enough for traditional,
high-flow ECMO systems, significantly expanding the potential market for
Inspira's technology. This approval strengthens Inspira’s intellectual property
portfolio and reinforces the Company’s technological leadership in the field of
advanced extracorporeal life support.
Dagi
Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of Inspira Technologies, stated: "This
patent has profound business implications for Inspira and for our ability to
dominate a market with a potential size of $20 billion. We are creating a new
therapeutic category for conscious, spontaneously breathing patients.
Protecting our intellectual property is a critical pillar of our growth
strategy, and this patent approval provides us with a distinct competitive
advantage. While our ART100 system is already generating commercial momentum,
this move fortifies our future and gives us the clear runway needed to
translate our technological leadership into long-term value for our
shareholders, and a new standard of care for patients worldwide."
The
newly received patent provides protection at least until the year 2043,
covering key claims related to the ART500’s functionality, design, and clinical
applications. Inspira is pursuing additional patents in major jurisdictions
worldwide to expand its intellectual property coverage.
In
late August, Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMIX), a
medical device company dedicated to advancing precision nerve-targeted
treatments announced that
European Patent Office (EPO) has granted Patent No. 3,697,298 (the ‘298
patent), titled, “Medical Device with Circuitry for Capturing and Processing
Physiological Signals.” The newly issued ‘298 patent relates to use of its proprietary
technology to collect and process sensing data for real-time physiological
monitoring with broad application use that includes coronary artery/vagal nerve
mapping, arterial/renal mapping, bladder/lower urinary tract applications,
robotic prosthetics and implants, and central nervous system monitoring for
neurotherapy.
