These last updates include an increased emphasis on commercialization,not just R and D,and if any geographically prescribed patent is sold for anywhere near the purported value mentioned in the update, that will be a game changer that will allow NNLX to greatly increase facilities and production without having to rely solely on internal revenue growth. A 1.5 million grant would also be a monetary game changer.
Update on Patents Offered for Sale, UTI Presentation at CAOG, and NSF Grant Application
International Patent Offering
NanoLogix is pleased to provide this update on the ongoing work on the sale of the European and China issued FlatPack patents, the poster presentation dealing with the seriousness of the threat from Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) with the need for new rapid methods for diagnostics for UTI infections, and an in-process application to the National Science Foundation for a $1.5 million grant.
Since our first announcement of the offer of 12 July we have registered the patent in fourteen EU Patent Agreement signatory countries. That registration was completed by 7 September. At that time the official status of the FlatPack patent in Europe was recognized in those fourteen countries. Since 7 September, two of those countries, Sweden and Croatia, out of the fourteen countries in which the patent has been registered, have published that information in either their own national patent bulletins or the EU Patent bulletin. This publication step is generally required in order for a formal acceptance of the patent validity by interested parties. NanoLogix has no control over the timing of individual Country publication and hopes the remainder of the bulletin notifications could be completed by the end of the current quarter, fully realizing each country involved possesses its own separate bureaucracy and timetables. That stated, we are pleased to have had interest in the technology from companies in three European and adjacent countries.
For the offering of the FlatPack patent in China we are using the services of a broker in Asia and have as yet to receive notice of significant interest. China and Intellectual property rights have an interesting and varied history so we hope to find a large entity in China with the vision to recognize, acquire, and protect the granted China patent rights.

NanoLogix and the authors are in agreement on the need for a rapid definitive diagnostic for UTI and the N-Assay and its soon to be developed screening pre-test are the needed tools to fill the projected need.
National Science Foundation Grant Application
NanoLogix, the Houston medical personnel involved in the N-Assay development and a professional grant writer are finalizing a grant application for $1,500,000.00 from the NSF for funding of both development of a screening ‘pre-test” to be used in conjunction with the N-Assay and also finalization for marketing of the N-Assay. Link to what is offered by the NSF can be found here:

While there is strong competition for the grants, we believe the N-Assay and what it offers will be attractive to the grant evaluators.
NanoLogix Offers EU, Hong Kong & PRC Petri FlatPack Packaging Patents For $35 - $50 Million
12:08 pm ET July 12, 2017 (Globe Newswire) Print
NanoLogix (OTC:NNLX) is pleased to announce the offer for sale of the patents issued in the EU, Hong Kong (Patent EP269949), and the People's Republic of China (PRC Patent CN103842265 ( ) for their unique and exclusively licensed petri plate packaging system known as the FlatPack.
The FlatPack, a method of vacuum-packing for petri plates in an inert gas environment, enables long term storage of many types of petri plates at room temperature for two years or more without deterioration of the nutrient agar contained in the filled plates. Standard storage times and conditions for competitors' petri plates are normally three months in a refrigerated environment. The potential economic impact of long term high quality non-refrigerated agar-filled petri plates is significant, with daily use of agar-filled petri plates worldwide numbering in the millions and access to both guaranteed-quality agar plates and dependable refrigeration for storage varying widely from area to area.
The FlatPack Patent has been granted in the USA, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, the EU (40 Patent signatory countries including Hong Kong), the People's Republic of China, and Chile, and is pending in South Korea, Brazil, and Canada.
The offering price range is cited as the estimate of value for the PRC patent ($35mm) and the EU patent ($15mm). Any interest in patent purchase for the other international granted patents is open for discussion.

The decision for patent sale was made based upon the challenges faced in going forward with international development for NanoLogix, basically an R&D company for most of its existence with FlatPack petri sales limited to the US, the UK, and South Africa, versus focusing upon a more easily accessed domestic market and leaving the international market to those large corporations already operating in that environment.
Sales proceeds will be used for NanoLogix expansion of petri production and sales domestically and development and marketing of their N-Assay Rapid Bacteria Diagnostic Test. The N-Assay provides the most rapid and sensitive diagnostic for bacteria available, coupled with near-simultaneous determination of antibiotic sensitivity.
