180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF), a biotechnology company transitioning to the iGaming sector, has announced significant enhancements to its legacy intellectual property portfolio through two new patent developments.

The first development is the granting of U.S. Patent No. 12,325,744 B2 by the USPTO, focused on methods for preventing post-operative cognitive decline. This patent, owned by The Kennedy Trust and licensed to 180, covers treatments for reducing cognitive impairment following planned inflammatory triggers like surgery or chemotherapy.

The second development involves a Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office for a patent application covering the treatment of localized fibrotic disorders using an IL-33 antagonist. This patent, owned solely by 180, specifically targets conditions like Dupuytren's Disease and Frozen Shoulder.

180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF), un'azienda biotecnologica in fase di transizione verso il settore iGaming, ha annunciato importanti miglioramenti al suo portafoglio di proprietà intellettuale esistente tramite due nuovi sviluppi brevettuali.

Il primo sviluppo riguarda il rilascio del Brevetto USA n. 12.325.744 B2 da parte dell'USPTO, che riguarda metodi per prevenire il declino cognitivo post-operatorio. Questo brevetto, di proprietà di The Kennedy Trust e concesso in licenza a 180, copre trattamenti per ridurre il deterioramento cognitivo dopo eventi infiammatori programmati come interventi chirurgici o chemioterapia.

Il secondo sviluppo consiste in una Notifica di Approvazione dall'Ufficio Canadese della Proprietà Intellettuale per una domanda di brevetto relativa al trattamento di disturbi fibrotici localizzati mediante un antagonista di IL-33. Questo brevetto, di esclusiva proprietà di 180, è specificamente indirizzato a condizioni come la Malattia di Dupuytren e la Spalla Congelata.

180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF), una empresa biotecnológica que está en proceso de transición hacia el sector iGaming, ha anunciado mejoras significativas en su cartera de propiedad intelectual heredada mediante dos nuevos desarrollos de patentes.

El primer desarrollo es la concesión de la Patente de EE.UU. No. 12,325,744 B2 por parte de la USPTO, centrada en métodos para prevenir el deterioro cognitivo postoperatorio. Esta patente, propiedad de The Kennedy Trust y licenciada a 180, cubre tratamientos para reducir el deterioro cognitivo tras desencadenantes inflamatorios planificados como cirugía o quimioterapia.

El segundo desarrollo implica un Aviso de Aprobación de la Oficina Canadiense de Propiedad Intelectual para una solicitud de patente que cubre el tratamiento de trastornos fibróticos localizados utilizando un antagonista de IL-33. Esta patente, propiedad exclusiva de 180, se dirige específicamente a condiciones como la Enfermedad de Dupuytren y el Hombro Congelado.

180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF), une société de biotechnologie en transition vers le secteur iGaming, a annoncé des améliorations significatives de son portefeuille de propriété intellectuelle existant grâce à deux nouveaux développements de brevets.

Le premier développement concerne l'octroi du brevet américain n° 12 325 744 B2 par l'USPTO, portant sur des méthodes de prévention du déclin cognitif post-opératoire. Ce brevet, détenu par The Kennedy Trust et concédé sous licence à 180, couvre des traitements visant à réduire les troubles cognitifs suite à des déclencheurs inflammatoires planifiés tels que la chirurgie ou la chimiothérapie.

Le second développement concerne une notification d'acceptation de l'Office de la propriété intellectuelle du Canada pour une demande de brevet couvrant le traitement des troubles fibrosés localisés à l'aide d'un antagoniste de l'IL-33. Ce brevet, détenu exclusivement par 180, cible spécifiquement des affections telles que la maladie de Dupuytren et l'épaule gelée.

180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF), ein Biotechnologieunternehmen, das in den iGaming-Sektor übergeht, hat bedeutende Verbesserungen seines bestehenden geistigen Eigentumsportfolios durch zwei neue Patentanmeldungen bekannt gegeben.

Dieses Patent, im Besitz von The Kennedy Trust und an 180 lizenziert, deckt Behandlungen zur Verringerung kognitiver Beeinträchtigungen nach geplanten entzündlichen Auslösern wie Operationen oder Chemotherapie ab.

Die zweite Entwicklung beinhaltet eine Benachrichtigung über die Zulassung vom Canadian Intellectual Property Office für eine Patentanmeldung zur Behandlung lokalisierter fibrotischer Erkrankungen mit einem IL-33-Antagonisten. Dieses Patent, das ausschließlich im Besitz von 180 ist, richtet sich speziell auf Erkrankungen wie Dupuytren-Kontraktur und Frozen Shoulder.

Insights

180 Life Sciences secures valuable patents while pivoting to iGaming; strengthens exit potential for legacy biotech assets.

This patent announcement reveals an unusual corporate strategy at 180 Life Sciences. The company is simultaneously securing new biotech intellectual property while pivoting entirely to the iGaming sector � an extraordinarily uncommon transition between unrelated industries.

The two newly secured patents cover:

  • Methods to prevent cognitive decline following surgery or chemotherapy (licensed from The Kennedy Trust)
  • IL-33 antagonist treatments for fibrotic disorders like Dupuytren's Disease and Frozen Shoulder (owned directly)

These patents address genuine medical needs. Post-operative cognitive decline affects up to 40% of surgical patients over 60, while Dupuytren's contracture affects approximately 5% of U.S. adults, with limited non-surgical treatments available.

However, the company's acknowledgment that these are "legacy assets" signals a clear divestiture strategy. By strengthening these patents, 180 is likely creating more attractive assets for potential acquirers, licensees, or strategic partners while the company executes its pivot to iGaming. This patent announcement appears designed to maintain shareholder value during this unusual transition by demonstrating the company is protecting potential future revenue streams from its biotech IP portfolio.

The CEO's emphasis on "long-term shareholder value" through "strategic opportunities around our legacy IP" further confirms that these patents are being positioned for eventual sale or licensing rather than in-house development, given the company's new focus on iGaming.

PALO ALTO, CA / / July 1, 2025 / 180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:ATNF) ("180" or the "Company), an innovative biotechnology company that is currently pivoting to the global iGaming sector, today announced two significant value enhancements to its existing, legacy intellectual property ("IP") portfolio-reinforcing part of the Company's strategy relating to continuing to build shareholder value through scientific innovation and patent protection for legacy IP assets. These new developments reflect 180's ongoing efforts to secure strong IP rights for its novel IP, while also positioning these assets for potential future partnering, licensing, or strategic transactions aimed at maximizing value for shareholders while the Company focuses on the global iGaming sector.

The Company has been granted and allowed protection in two discrete areas:

  1. Post Operative Cognitive Decline - The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted U.S. Patent No. 12,325,744 B2, entitled "Methods and Agents for Preventing or Reducing Post-Operative Cognitive Decline." This patent protects methods and therapeutic uses for reducing or preventing cognitive impairment in patients following a planned inflammatory trigger, such as surgery or chemotherapy. It also covers treatment of patients with cognitive disorders exacerbated by prior inflammatory exposure, strengthening 180's IP in the neuroinflammation and surgical care space.

  2. Dupuytren's Disease and Frozen Shoulder - The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for a patent application covering a method for treating localized fibrotic disorders using an IL-33 antagonist. Upon payment of the requisite fee, a Canadian patent will be granted. This intellectual property supports 180's clinical and translational legacy focus on novel anti-fibrotic therapies, with direct applicability to disorders such as Dupuytren's Disease and Frozen Shoulder, both of which currently lack safe and effective non-surgical treatments.

The USPTO patent granted in respect of Post Operative Cognitive Decline is owned by The Kennedy Trust, and licensed to 180, while the Canadian Notice of Allowance for a patent in respect of Dupuytren's Disease and Frozen Shoulder is owned solely by the Company. Both patents ultimately enhance shareholder value for 180's shareholders.

We believe that these developments significantly enhance 180's proprietary platform across two critical therapeutic areas-neuroinflammation and fibrosis-and reinforce the Company's existing, legacy IP estate. The Company remains actively engaged in strategic discussions concerning the advancement of these and other legacy assets in its IP portfolio; however, no definitive transaction has been agreed to date.

"These two new patent milestones demonstrate the continued productivity and relevance of 180's legacy IP platform," said Blair Jordan, CEO of 180. "We believe these patents represent not only innovative approaches to high-need clinical problems, but also valuable potential drivers of long-term shareholder value as we assess strategic opportunities around our legacy IP."
