The system and process protected by the patent covers the production of therapeutic proteins by stimulating adult stem cells using the Company's proprietary Time-Varying Electromagnetic Field (TVEMF) technology in a proprietary three dimensional bioreactor system. The technology is part of Endonovo's Cytotronics™ platform, which harnesses the bulk electrical properties of tissues and cells, namely magnetically-induced electrical field pathways to expand and enhance the therapeutic properties of cell therapies and to produce human biomolecules.

Biopharmaceuticals, also known as biologics, are pharmaceutical drug products manufactured in, extracted from, or semi-synthesized from biological sources. These drugs differ from traditional chemically synthesized drugs and include vaccines, hormones, blood components, recombinant therapeutic proteins and living cells used in cell therapies. Biologics are commonly used to stimulate the growth of specific blood cell types, such as red and white blood cells, and to mobilize blood stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream allowing for their collection and subsequent transplantation into patients following chemotherapy.

Generating sales of approximately US$6 billion in 2014, and with recent and upcoming patent expirations on a number of biologics by the year 2020, first and next-generation G-CSF products commonly used in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, represent an attractive market for biosimilar and biosuperior proteins, according to Competitor Analysis Series. The market for biosimilar G-CSF is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 20.2% from 2014 to 2019, reaching a value of $1.1 billion in 2019, according to BCC Research.

Alan Collier, Chief Executive Officer of Endonovo, commented, "The patent issued today represents significant and important protection to our Cytotronics platform allowing us to move forward with the platform's development of while addressing many of the current drawbacks of culturing cells outside of the body to create better cell therapies and biologics."

Mr. Collier went on to say, "Although follow-on biologics represent a lucrative opportunity for some biotechs by potentially costing 20-30 percent less than their brand name counterparts, we are looking at creating next-generation biosuperior proteins that are created using human cells rather than using recombinant-DNA technology in E.coli and yeast systems."
