ENDRA Life Sciences Granted Additional European Patent As Commercialization Begins

New grant expands coverage of key U.S. platform patent to Europe

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2020 / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (''ENDRA'') (NASDAQ:NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), has recently been issued European Patent 3328285 from the European Patent Office (EPO).

"The granting of our second European patent comes at an opportune time, as we're currently focusing on finalizing our first clinical evaluation reference sites in Europe and initiating sales in this key market, where the TAEUS Fatty Liver Imaging Probe System received CE Mark Approval in the first half of the year," said ENDRA's Chief Executive Officer, Francois Michelon.

Kai Thomenius PhD, a research scientist at the Institute of Medical Engineering & Science at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and co-inventor of the patent, said, "This is a novel approach to correcting fat induced image distortion in ultrasound imaging, leveraging the inherent fat and lean tissue contrast of thermoacoustics."

"While our European patent grants are significant because they apply to our platform capabilities in our first commercial market, it is important to understand these patents are supported and strengthened by the fact they are part of a growing IP portfolio, which currently stands at 72 assets, which cover other critical aspects of our technology," concluded Michelon.
