• Global Intellectual Property Portfolio Now Includes 82 Issued Patents

ANN ARBOR, Mich. / Nov 06, 2024 / Business Wire / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS^®), announces that the European Patent Office has issued to ENDRA a new patent EP4247282 (the ‘282 patent) titled “Method and System for Monitoring Tissue Temperature.”

The ‘282 patent relates to a novel method and system for monitoring tissue ablation during minimally invasive thermal surgical interventions by utilizing ENDRA’s TAEUS^® system. It is related to ENDRA’s U.S. patent US11,051,883 enabling integration with existing ablation systems. ENDRA expects its method and system to be applicable to minimally invasive microwave and radiofrequency thermal ablation procedures, which continue to grow globally as a less painful alternative with shorter recovery times compared with open surgical procedures.

“This issued patent, our 17^th in Europe, supports ENDRA’s strategy to develop optimized hybrid ultrasound and thermoacoustic imaging systems and to broaden the potential applications for our TAEUS^® platform technology in areas with unmet clinical needs," stated ENDRA's Chief Executive Officer Alexander Tokman. "We continue to enhance our intellectual property portfolio to protect our technology in priority global markets, including the United States, Europe and China. Our extensive IP portfolio currently includes 82 patents issued worldwide.”

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.

ENDRA Life Sciences is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS^®), a ground-breaking technology that characterizes tissue similar to an MRI, but at 1/40^th the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS^® is initially focused on the non-invasive assessment of fatty tissue in the liver. Steatotic liver disease (SLD, formerly known as NAFLD-NASH) is a chronic liver disease spectrum that affects over two billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS^®, including non-invasive visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.
