VerDate Sep<11>2014 National Institutes of Health, HHS. National Institutes of Health PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23013 ‘‘High-affinity Monoclonal Antibodies To Glypican-3 And Use Thereof’’ [HHS Ref. E–136–2012/0–SG–06], and United States Patent 9,409,994 entitled ‘‘Highaffinity Monoclonal Antibodies To Glypican-3 And Use Thereof’’ [HHS Ref. E–136–2012/0–US–07], and all continuing U.S. and foreign patents/ patent applications for the technology family, to AbPro. The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to and/or exclusively licensed to the Government of the United States of America. With respect to persons who have an obligation to assign their right, title and interest to the Government of the United States of America, the patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective Exclusive Patent License territory may be worldwide for the following field of use: The use of the YP7, YP8 and YP9.1 antiGPC3 monoclonal antibodies as monospecific or bispecific antibodies for the treatment of liver cancer. The licensed field of use excludes any non-specified immunoconjugates, including, but not limited to, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and variants thereof, Immunotoxins, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The present inventions to be licensed concern monoclonal antibodies that are specific for the cell surface domain of GPC3: YP6, YP7, YP8, YP9 and YP9.1. These antibodies can potentially be used for the treatment of GPC3expressing cancers such as HCC. By binding to and blocking GPC3 function, these antibodies can inhibit the growth of HCC cells, thereby decreasing the ability of tumors to grow and metastasize. Alternatively, the antibodies can be used to induce antibody-dependent anti-tumor activity by selectively killing cells which overexpress GPC3 while leaving healthy, normal cells unscathed. Finally, a secondary antibody capable of recruiting T cells to the tumor can be attached to the antibodies, thereby allowing for the localization of T cells or NK cells only to those cells which express GPC3, similarly leading to the selective killing of the cancer cells. This notice is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. The prospective Exclusive Patent License will be royalty bearing and may be granted unless within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, the National Cancer Institute receives written evidence and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
