biOasis Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTI), today announced that it has
received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
for its patent application titled "Use of P97 as an Enzyme Delivery System for
the Delivery of Therapeutic Lysosomal Enzymes", US Patent Application Number
12/729,792. The Notice of Allowance is the USPTO's official communication that
the Company's application has successfully completed examination and that a
patent will be issued upon final review and payment of the issue fee. The
addition of this new patent to biOasis' growing intellectual property portfolio
will be another key value component of biOasis drug development efforts focused
on developing valuable therapies to address important unmet medical needs. 


The allowed claims of this patent application cover methods of using the
Company's Transcend brain penetrating drug delivery vector coupled to a
lysosomal storage disease enzyme for the treatment of lysosomal storage
diseases. Specifically, the enzymes claimed in the allowed patent application
include those that are used clinically as enzyme replacement therapies to treat
lysosomal storage diseases such as Hunter Syndrome, Hurler syndrome and others. 


ABOUT LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASES

Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited metabolic disorders caused by a
deficiency in lysosomal enzymes, of which approximately fifty have been
described to date. These diseases usually affect children, many of whom die
within several years of birth and some following years of dealing with symptoms
of the disease that may include developmental delay, movement disorders,
seizures, dementia, deafness and blindness. The most effective therapeutic
strategy is for replacement of the missing enzyme. However, no currently
approved therapeutic enzyme is able to effectively treat the effects of these
diseases on the central nervous system. Despite the limitations of existing
products, market revenues have exceeded $2 billion for each of the past three
years.
