Ip Auctions Selling Cell Works Patents
IpAuctions Inc. and Tranzon Fox auction companies are
collaborating to sell the worldwide biotherapeutic patents previously
owned by Cell Works Inc. and now owned by Cell Works Diagnostics, Inc
("CWD") and Cell Works Therapeutics, Inc ("CWT")
Cell Works Inc., a Maryland-based biotech company, had focused on
developing cancer therapeutics and diagnostics tools. Currently six
U.S. medical patents are for sale, including one associated with a
liver cancer therapeutic drug that has already been granted orphan
drug status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also included
in the sale are 24 foreign patents.
Company Summary: Cell Works Inc. developed two technologies for
the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of cancer and other life
threatening diseases. The therapeutic platform is a ligand-directed
drug delivery system that can target an organ for greater specificity
and efficacy with less toxicity to the patient. The diagnostic
platform BloodBiopsy(SM) is a circulating cancer cell test that
detects isolates and characterizes cancer cells from a small sample of
blood. This highly sensitive test can be used in conjunction with
therapeutics for more effective cancer management.
Certain specific Cell Works' patents to be auctioned relate to the
identification and characterization of classes and subclasses of
circulating cancer cells, including microtumors from body fluid
samples. These patents explain molecular, cytological and
morphological analyses and methods for staging patients and measuring
the efficacy of medical treatments.
Cell Works Inc. was started in 1997 by Dr. Paul Ts'o, a well-known
Johns Hopkins University professor.
