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.”
