PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SCLX), an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain and neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disease, today announced that it has in-licensed a worldwide exclusive license, with right to sublicense, to Datavault AI’s proprietary AI-driven technology for the use within the biotech and biopharma industry, specifically enabling the creation and operation of a Biotech Exchange platform. This license allows Scilex to leverage Datavault AI’s advanced data platforms for secure tokenization, trading, and monetization of biotech assets, including genomic, DNA data, diagnostic, therapeutic products, genetic and drug information, marking a significant step forward in the commercialization of biotech innovations.
Scilex also believes that this advanced data platform will have the potential to expand into the creation of a Pharmaceutical Exchange platform which will potentially revolutionize the entire pharmaceutical industry.
Scilex believes that there is an opportunity to tokenize approximately $2.0 trillion dollars pharmaceutical drug sales and diagnostic sales.1 Scilex also believes the potential of using tokenization on the exchange platform might provide an alternative vehicle for companies to raise non-dilutive funding to develop and commercialize diagnostic and therapeutic products.
The license centers on Datavault AI’s robust portfolio of intellectual property, including the key pending patent for “Platform and Method for Tokenizing DNA Data” (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/941,623), which provides a framework for securely tokenizing and exchanging sensitive genetic information. This technology is supported by a suite of issued and pending patents that collectively enable the Biotech Exchange, such as:
Issued: “Platform for Management of User Data” (U.S. Patent Nos. 11,593,515; 11,960,622; 12,100,025) and continuations, which facilitate secure user data handling and monetization.
Issued: “Portfolio Driven Targeted Advertising Network, System, and Method” (U.S. Patent No. 11,315,150), enabling data-driven targeting in exchange ecosystems.
Pending: “System and Method for Tokenized Minting, Authentication, and Utilization of Assets" (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,139), supporting asset tokenization for biotech applications.
Pending: “Platform and Method for Tokenization of Corporate Data” (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/941,550), adaptable for biotech corporate datasets.
Pending: “System and Method for Tokenized Licensing of Content” (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,328), for licensing biotech intellectual property.
Pending: “System and Method for Tokenized Affiliate Marketing” (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,265), to drive partnerships in biotech data exchanges.
Pending: “System and Method for Funding a Virtual Location” (U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,220), applicable to virtual biotech marketplaces.
Pending: “System and Method for Tokenized Event Management” (U.S. Patent Application No. 19/248,284), for managing biotech events and collaborations.
Pending: “System and Method for Registering Claims of Ownership Rights” (U.S. Patent Application No. 18/412,128), ensuring ownership verification in data trades.
These technologies collectively provide the infrastructure for a secure, efficient Biotech Exchange, allowing for the tokenization, valuation, and seamless trading of biotech data assets while maintaining compliance and privacy standards.
According to the licensing agreement, Scilex shall pay a non-refundable upfront license fee in four equal installments of $2.5 million each on or before December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2026.
