Intellectual Property

 

MOTS-c Patent Coverage

 

We are the exclusive licensee from the Regents of the University of California (the “Regents”) to intellectual property rights related to MOTS-c, including one patent application filed in the United States (U.S. Application No. 14/213,617) and a related divisional patent application (U.S. Divisional Application No. 15/146,249). The parent application includes composition of matter claims directed to MOTS-c and analogs of MOTS-c, as well as methods of use claims for MOTS-c or analogs of MOTS-c as a treatment for type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, obesity and cancer. The divisional application is directed to methods of use of MOTS-c or its analogs. We also have corresponding foreign applications filed in multiple countries and regions.

 

We have also filed a provisional patent application directed to composition of matter and methods of use for novel MOTS-c analogs developed by CohBar, including our CB4209 and CB4211 candidates. The provisional patent application is not subject to the license agreement with the Regents.

 

Newly Discovered Peptides

 

In addition to the lead peptides and analogs identified in the Prospectus we have discovered a large number of new biologically active peptides encoded within the genome of the mitochondria.

 

Our intellectual property and patent strategy is a key part of our efforts to secure our position as the leader in mitochondria based therapeutics (MBTs). In addition to the provisional patent application related to our MOTS-c analogs described above, and to our licensed patents and patent applications, we have filed 24 provisional patent applications relating to our newly discovered mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) and their analogs and may file additional patent applications going forward. We typically seek composition of matter and method of treatment patent coverage for our MDPs, MDP analogs and prospective MBTs based on pre-clinical evaluation of therapeutic potential.
