One patent already has been issued on the original disclosure. Claims of the most recently issued patent were first filed upon in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since making the disclosure the inventors have assisted the IPO by helping complete critical paperwork, reviewing numerous drafts of the application, commenting on office actions received back from the Patent and Trademark Office and generally keeping the office apprised of the progress of their research,&#8221; Agneta said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Licensing, marketing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The patent is licensed to UNeMed, who is actively seeking commercial partners who might benefit from the technology. UNeMed&#8217;s licensing usually begins after the IPO has evaluated and protected the invention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re hoping our position in the field will attract those willing to invest in further research leading to a new class of marketable anti-atherosclerotic drugs,&#8221; Agneta said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Searching for an alternative<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In their research, Drs. Rosenquist and Monaghan are searching for a drug that ultimately produces a positive effect on blood vessels &#8212; similar to that of alcohol, but minus the damaging effects and intoxication. <\/p>\n<p>Testing continues, Dr. Rosenquist said, but &#8220;from preliminary observations we&#8217;re optimistic that we&#8217;ll be successful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The motivation for putting forth the effort to help file a patent application comes from the &#8220;confidence that your data is unique and valuable,&#8221; Dr. Rosenquist said. &#8220;This patent acknowledges that according to the rigorous patent system the work we&#8217;re doing related to atherosclerosis is unique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Filing patents, more info<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Patents should be sought when there&#8217;s a practical application related to the discovery, Agneta said. <\/p>\n<p>For more information on disclosures and patents, call UNMC&#8217;s Intellectual Property Office at 559-2170.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"iuV TY nogNaBSExlhcc  UZE CYxwt\">iuV TY nogNaBSExlhcc  UZE CYxwt<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC recently acquired its sixth patent of the year, up from four last year.
