Strengthens the Intellectual Property
Surrounding the Company’s Novel Thyroid Nodule Classifier and
Provides Opportunities for IP Monetization
Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (NASDAQ:ROSG), a genomic diagnostics
company that improves treatment decisions by providing timely and
accurate diagnostic information to physicians, announces that the
United States Patents and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted two
patent allowances for patent applications US 14/756,185 (‘185) and
US 14/999,879 (‘879), both divisional patents of the parent
application titled “microRNAs and uses thereof.”
Application ‘185 claims hsa-miR-146-5p, its complement and a
sequence at least 95% identical to it, as well as a probe and a
vector comprising this microRNA. Application ‘879 claims
hsa-miR-551b-3p, its complement and a sequence of at least 18
nucleotides identical to it, as well as a probe and a vector
comprising this microRNA.
“We are especially pleased with these two patent allowances as
they are important markers for our RosettaGX RevealTM thyroid
cancer assay, and both have been confirmed as valuable markers by
independent researchers in the field of thyroid cancer,” stated
Kenneth A. Berlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rosetta
Genomics. “We are creating a strong intellectual property position
in microRNAs and thyroid cancer diagnostics. Of note, there are
approximately 500 peer-reviewed publications that confirm the
effectiveness of microRNAs as biomarkers in the diagnosis of
thyroid cancer which makes these and other microRNAs in our
RosettaGX RevealTM assay potentially even more valuable. We believe
there may be opportunities to monetize this and other intellectual
property pursuant to outlicenses to others working in this field.
We are pursuing additional patents for our Reveal assay and look
forward to their issuance. Our solid patent position, along with
Reveal’s numerous competitive advantages including the ability to
work off of routinely prepared FNA smears, creates the opportunity
for significant revenue growth this year and well into the
future.”
