INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY / U.S. STARTING POSITION

LEGACY MOLECULES.
NEW DEVELOPMENT IP.

Antaeus starts with publicly disclosed legacy molecules. We do not claim invention of the original molecules or a granted Antaeus patent portfolio. Our IP strategy targets differentiated formulations, new analogues and specific uses supported by new data.

01 / SEARCH SCOPE

No blanket patent-free claim

Preliminary public-record searches on October 29, 2026 used Bemitil / bemethyl / bemithyl / Metaprot, chlodantane / chlodantan and Dalargin. We did not identify an unexpired U.S. patent claiming the original molecule itself for these programs. This limited search is not exhaustive and does not establish freedom to operate.

02 / DALARGIN / U.S. GRANT

Specific use claims exist

US11365216B2 claims an intranasal Dalargin method for acute respiratory viral disease, including influenza. The published record lists it as active. These are specific method claims, not ownership of every Dalargin use. We have not established whether any claim reaches an Antaeus product.

03 / BEMITIL / U.S. DISCLOSURES

Mentions and claims are different

U.S. records disclose bemithyl in fibrosis research. Reviewed issued claims in US12280026B2 and US11744808B2 concern repirinast. US20220117951A1 names bemithyl in its description, while its displayed claims concern ifenprodil and radiprodil. Family updates and continuations still require review.

04 / CHLODANTANE

Russian formulation rights are not U.S. rights

RU2704126C2 is the third-party Russian formulation patent behind the heat-stress example. The reviewed family record lists Russia. A U.S. addiction-treatment disclosure also mentions chlodantane, but issued claims in US11045465B2 concern methylphenidate. Neither establishes an unrestricted chlodantane product.

05 / ANTAEUS STRATEGY

Earn protection through new work

Generate candidate-specific data. File only where novelty and inventive step support differentiated formulations, analogues or uses. Counsel checks claim scope, ownership, maintenance and jurisdiction before candidate selection. No granted Antaeus patents or exclusive licenses are represented as secured.
