Nventa Wins European Patent Challenge Covering Lead Product Candidate HspE7 and Other HPV Therapeutics

Nventa Biopharmaceuticals Corporation announced today that it has received a favorable decision from the Technical Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office (EPO) for the company's European Patent Number 1,002,110. This patent, which allows exclusively through 2018, covers compositions of fusion proteins comprised of a human papillomavirus (HPV) antigen fused to a heat shock protein (Hsp), as well as DNA encoding such fusion proteins. This decision dismisses an appeal announced on January 30, 2006, and upholds the EPO Opposition Division's favorable decision of October 2005.
