I think as with ALL the IP it is Diwan who is the inventor and Allexcel/Theracour the assignee. Perhaps NanoViricides has or will obtain an exclusive license.

I assume ADIF was instrumental in the rapid development of EbolaCide2.

"If NNVC presumably holds the IP rights to ADIF (which seems implied by their Annual and Quarterly Reports), shouldn't they also hold the rights to all prospective candidates and the lead candidates generated with ADIF?"

I looked at the USPTO.gov site to see if they had registered the trademark or applied for some kind of patent and found nothing....the only live trademark that the company has registered is the wordmark "Nanoviricides" and you know the patent story better than I do. The little TM that they use may protect the ADIF™ and Accurate-Drug-In-Field™ names through usage, but that hardly qualifies as IP worth owning. There could be an unpublished patent application, but there's no way to know that and there's no use of the term "proprietary" related to the process on the NNVC website.

It's a fine idea, but I don't know that it's patentable. Any concerns about a licensing conflict or arrangement with any related party seems unnecessary if it's not.


On a distantly related note, Diwan's latest filing showed an interesting change. His common holdings, which had been held directly by him in his name, suddenly appeared as Indirect holdings being held by Allexcel. If he sold or otherwise transferred his personal holdings to that company for some reason, as the filing implies, he should have provided an interim filing showing that transaction and there's no sign of one. It needs clearing up.

I wonder how the negotiations are going regarding the NNVC purchase of the lab from Inno-Haven. Where did that issue go? Or did I miss the resolution?

IMO THE ENTIRE THING is apparently about conducting tests that generate massive development fees and IP for TC.

No?

I say if your paying for the development of the IP you should own it, period.

Soon after Ebola is out of the headlines there will probably be another flavor of the month to create yet another diversion.

They changed those voting rights for a reason and not (no offense) the fairy tale reason you guys would like to think.
