Global Intellectual Property Portfolio Expands
to 74 Issued Patents
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of
Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), announces the
issuance of three new patents, including one in the U.S., one in
China and one in Europe. ENDRA’s intellectual property portfolio
now includes 74 issued patents worldwide providing protection for
the TAEUS system with its novel thermoacoustic technology.
These patents protect novel innovations integral to the TAEUS
system, ensuring maximum radiofrequency energy absorption,
minimized signal noise and precise temperature monitoring during
surgical procedures and thermal ablation. With the ability to
accurately monitor temperature changes during thermal therapies,
clinicians can, for example, optimize treatment parameters to
minimize damage to healthy tissue while effectively targeting
cancerous cells, leading to better therapeutic outcomes and reduced
side effects.
“We are proud of our growing patent estate, which is
particularly impressive for a company of our size. These newly
issued patents reinforce ENDRA's commitment to advancing
state-of-the-art thermoacoustic systems, and expand the horizons
for our novel TAEUS® technology to address unmet clinical needs,"
commented ENDRA's Chief Technology Officer Michael Thornton. "We
remain committed to fortifying our intellectual property to
safeguard our technology in key global markets, deploying a robust
portfolio that now encompasses 74 granted patents."
The following three patents were issued:
- U.S. Patent No. 11844650 (the ‘650 patent), titled
“Thermoacoustic Measurement Probe,” protects a novel sleeve-type
structural configuration for TAEUS that maximizes radiofrequency
energy absorption and the corresponding thermoacoustic signal
strength. The sleeve-type configuration also minimizes signal noise
to provide a clearer thermoacoustic signal. Embodiments cited in
the ‘650 patent utilize a plurality of radiofrequency feeds that
enable signal polarization and lead to a clearer thermoacoustic
measurement.
- Chinese Patent No. ZL2021800757024 (the ‘024 patent), titled
“Thermal Ablation System with Integrated Thermoacoustic Temperature
Measurement,” relates to the TAEUS system determining temperature
at a specific location in the human body. For example, the ‘024
patent protects a system designed to monitor temperature during
thermal ablation for overheating to avoid destroying healthy tissue
and underheating to mitigate not destroying targeted cancerous
tumor cells.
- European Patent No. EP3902490, titled “Method and System for
Monitoring Tissue Temperature,” relates to a novel method with the
TAEUS system for monitoring tissue temperature during surgical
procedures, such as thermotherapy and cryotherapy.
About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced
UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology, which
characterizes tissue like MRI, but at 1/50th the cost and at the
point of patient care. TAEUS® is designed to work in concert with
over 700,000 ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS® is
initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means
to assess and monitor Steatotic Liver Disease (SLD) (formerly known
as NAFLD-NASH), a chronic liver spectrum that affects over two
billion people globally, and for which there are no practical
diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several
other clinical applications of TAEUS®, including visualization of
tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures. For

“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,”
“hope,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,”
“project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or other comparable
terms (including the negative of any of the foregoing), although
some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Examples
of forward-looking statements for ENDRA include, among others:
estimates of the timing of future events and anticipated results of
our development efforts, including the timing of submission for and
receipt of required regulatory approvals and product launches;
statements relating to future financial position and projected
costs and revenue; expectations concerning ENDRA’s business
strategy; and statements regarding ENDRA’s ability to find and
maintain development partners. Forward-looking statements involve
inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors including, among others: the ability to
raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern;
the ability to obtain regulatory approvals necessary to sell ENDRA
medical devices in certain markets in a timely manner, or at all;
the ability to develop a commercially feasible technology and its
dependence on third parties to design and manufacture its products;
the impact of COVID-19 on ENDRA’s business plans; the ability to
find and maintain development partners; market acceptance of
ENDRA’s technology and the amount and nature of competition in its
industry; ENDRA’s ability to protect its intellectual property; and
the other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors and
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations sections of the Company’s most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form
