Bio-Path Holdings (BPTH) Expands Global Patent Portfolio

Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: BPTH), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize® liposomal delivery and antisense technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer and obesity drugs, today announced the receipt of newly issued patents in the United States and New Zealand, and updated investors on the extent of its global intellectual property portfolio.

Bio-Path received Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. Patent No. 17/339,366 titled, "P-ethoxy nucleic acids for STAT3 inhibition." The New Zealand Intellectual Property Office has granted Patent No. 741793 titled, “P-ethoxy nucleic acids for liposomal formulation.” These new patents build on earlier patents granted that protect the platform technology for DNAbilize®, the Company’s novel RNAi nanoparticle drugs.

“We are proud of our growing global intellectual property portfolio as it safeguards our technology, serves as a deterrent to would-be competitors and creates value around our core competencies,” said Peter Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Path. “These efforts are designed to protect our investments and advance our clinical programs to bring new medicines to patients suffering with obesity and cancer. Importantly, our newly issued U.S. patent provides additional intellectual property protection around our STAT3 program, where we intend to advance into non-small cell lung cancer.”

Bio-Path continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio by filing patent applications that are applicable to its technology and business strategy. Bio-Path’s patent portfolio currently includes seven issued patents in the U.S. and 61 issued patents in foreign jurisdictions, providing protection in 26 countries. The Company has three additional pending patent applications in the U.S. and five additional allowed patent applications in foreign jurisdictions.
