Gopher Protocol (OTCQB:$GOPH) to Expand Its Exclusive License IP Portfolio - New Patent for Guardian-LIFE Medical Patch, a Derivative of the Guardian Patch Technology


PERRIS, CA - April 26, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the "Company"), a development-stage Company developing a real-time, heuristic based, mobile technology, announced today that Dr. Rittman has applied for a patent for the Guardian-LIFE medical patch technology. If the patent is issued, Dr. Rittman will assign the patent to Guardian Patch LLC, the Company's technology licensing partner. The Guardian-LIFE medical patch is a derivative technology of GopherInsight™ microchip technology, which is currently licensed exclusively to the Company. The Guardian-LIFE technology is also to be licensed to the Company and such a license would represent a further expansion of the products licensed to the Company. The Guardian-LIFE technology represents a new sub-product of Guardian Patch LLC's Guardian Patch tracking technology.

The Guardian-LIFE technology is an electronic circuit within a sticky patch package is designed for human vital signs information detection and measurement. The Guardian-LIFE medical patch is based on an optical-acoustic laser technology. The medical patch detection and measurement device includes an affixed sensor system, an optical-acoustic sensing system, an analysis computerized system and a display unit. The user is intended to stick the patch against a human anatomical location for vital detection and measurements. The optical-acoustic system's data is analyzed by the computerized system to calculate and determine the human vital information and to present it on the display system. The system measures heart rate, a systolic blood pressure, a diastolic blood pressure, a mean arterial blood pressure, a pulse pressure and temperature.

The Guardian-LIFE electronic circuit embedded within the medical sticky patch includes a BIOS, ROM, RAM memory and at least one microprocessor or microcontroller. The electronic circuits are located within microchips or on the device's electronic board as separated microchips. The electronic circuit within the patch transmits the vital signs information via conventional network including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The system works in conjunction with a mobile software application to provide human vital detection and measurement functionalities within mobile devices and a web based application.

The Guardian Patch, the company's first exclusively licensed product to bring to the consumer markets, is a unique location technology that works with or without GPS. All of the technologies that are currently being developed by Guardian Patch LLC are currently based on GopherInsight™ microchip technology, which the Company exclusively holds a license to.


About Gopher Protocol Inc.
Gopher Protocol Inc. ("Gopher" and the "Company") (OTCQB: GOPH) (http://gopherprotocol.com/) is Development-stage Company that is developing a real-time, heuristic based, mobile technology, per license agreement it holds. Upon development, the technology will consist of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software that run on a server. The system contemplates the creation of a global network, worldwide. Gopher believes this will be the first system that is developed using a human, heuristic based analysis engine. Since the core of the system will be its advanced microchip that will be able to be installed any mobile device, worldwide, Gopher expects that this will result in an internal, private network between all mobile devices utilizing the device by providing mobile technology for computing power enhancement, advanced mobile database management/sharing, and additional mobile features.

Santen Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. (Tokyo:4536.T; OTC: SNPHY) is focused on corneal disorders that lack effective treatment options and on glaucoma and retinal disorders that are increasing in prevalence due to the aging of society.

Q BioMed Inc (OTCQB: QBIO) Featured in April Issue of PharmaVOICE Magazine

Q BioMed Inc (OTCQB: QBIO) Featured in April Issue of PharmaVOICE Magazine

Getting Past the "Pharma Bro"; How Smaller Biotechs Continue to Strive for the Well-Being of Patients



NEW YORK - April 5, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Q BioMed Inc. (OTC: QBIO), a biotechnology acceleration company reports the Company's CEO was featured in an interview in the April issue of PharmaVOICE magazine.

PharmaVOICE magazine, reaching more than 41,000 BPA-qualified life-sciences executives, is the forum that allows business leaders to engage in a candid dialogue on the challenges and trends impacting the industry.

CEO, Denis Corin talks to PharmaVOICE magazine about Martin Shkreli's actions, drug prices and how he and his company are approaching the issues facing biotech innovators now and in the future.

Excerpt:
PV: Martin Shkreli's decision to increase the price of an inexpensive drug from $13.50 to $750 created a media uproar, reigniting negative attitudes toward the life-sciences industry. Is there anything positive that can come from this?

Corin: It's created a talking point, and it's provided more focus on the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology to a degree. His approach and his attitude is just not consistent with the majority of people in pharma development and certainly not true of the younger, smaller biotech companies that are truly the innovators and the driving force behind a lot of new drug creation. This attitude is not reflective of the way many of us do things or the reasons why we do what we do.

Quite candidly, in the smaller-cap biotech space, companies are being run on shoestring budgets, and we're out there every day raising dollars wherever we can to develop these assets.

The way Shkreli's positioned this - gouging people on this one particular drug - is not representative of what's going on in the biotech innovation space. Every biotech CEO has to have some kind of philanthropy or philanthropic outlook on life when it comes to what he or she is doing. We have to be doing it for the ultimate good of the patients and their families and if we can do that, all things will fall into place and the company will do well. There will be ample profit for the shareholders and enough money to feed back into innovation and drug development.
