American Marconi Wireless News - 180 Life Sciences Corp. Announces Strengthening of Legacy Intellectual Property Assets

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."
