Patent Granted in Canada
Cizzle Biotechnology, the UK-based developer of diagnostic tests for early-stage cancer, is pleased to announce that patent applications that claim protection for methods that measure the CIZ1B lung cancer biomarker have been granted by the Canadian intellectual property office. The Company has a strong patent portfolio and continues to seek additional protection in other key markets globally. In addition to its existing patent coverage in the USA, a further application is likely to be granted by the United States patent and trademark office in due course.
The patent 'Use of a fibrinogen capture agent to detect a CIZ1B variant' concerns a two-step test format developed by Cizzle at the University of York. This test format is licensed to Cizzle Bio Inc ("BIO") for use in North America and the Caribbean and these new patents will strengthen BIO's position in commercialising the Company's innovative and proprietary technology.
