I noticed someone questioning MANF intellectual rights elsewhere and thought I might as well post this here as well.

The Company owns the intellectual property rights to a therapeutic protein known as Mesencephalic-Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor ("MANF") and is developing MANF-based products as treatments for brain disorders.

Overview

Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. is a California-based development-stage biotechnology company founded in January 2008. We focus on developing our intellectual property and proprietary technology to develop drug candidates to treat human disease. We own the intellectual property rights to a therapeutic protein known as Mesencephalic-Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor (MANF”).

MANF is a protein that corrects protein misfolding. Protein misfolding is one of the major causes of apoptosis (cell death). This property provides a compelling rationale for the research and development of MANF-based products as therapeutics for human disease. Our lead MANF product development effort is centered on a therapy for Parkinson’s disease.

We also own an inventory of 88 cell lines that we refer to as PhenoGuard Cell Lines. MANF was the first therapeutic protein discovered from a PhenoGuard Cell Line. We believe that we may identify additional therapeutic proteins from its inventory of PhenoGuard Cell Lines.

Principal Products

Our philosophy is to acquire in-license, discover and develop biologics with the potential to address critically important biological pathways involved in human disease. Since our inception, we have been focused on developing MANF as a therapeutic for Parkinson’s disease, and other apoptosis-related disorders. Our business plans are focused in these specific areas:

- Development of MANF to treat Parkinson’s disease

- Development of MANF to treat other apoptosis-related disorders

- Exploration of our PhenoGuard Cell Lines for therapeutic protein discovery

- Evaluation of external drug candidates for potential in-licensure or acquisition

MANF: Overview

We own the intellectual property rights to a novel therapeutic protein called MANF acquired from EMS Development Group in 2008. MANF is a novel, endogenous, evolutionally conserved and widely expressed secreted human protein. We believe that MANF is the first of a new class of therapeutic proteins that are secreted in response to stressful physiological conditions in the body. MANF is believed to have mechanisms of action that are fundamentally different from other therapeutic proteins; MANF decreases the activity of apoptosis-causing enzymes, corrects protein misfolding and increases neurotransmitter release.






Search the SEC document and you'll find a lot about the company and MANF. Search under MANF

You'll even find how the rights were acquired.
