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.
