These patents cover prostate and breast imaging applications and are the basis of ProUroCare’s ProUroScan prostate imaging system that is in development. Acquiring these patents, which until now had been licensed by ProUroCare, will ensure that current and future versions of the ProUroScan will have broad intellectual property protection.
In addition to eliminating licensing royalties, acquiring the patents will give ProUroCare the freedom to pursue additional potential applications where imaging soft tissue organs may provide a diagnostic or therapeutic benefit to patients.
Rick Carlson, ProUroCare’s CEO, said: “The acquisition of this intellectual property is one more strategic milestone for the company as it positions itself for future growth and commercialization of mechanical imaging technologies.”
