MIAMI, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuisz Pharma LLC today announced today that the Israeli Patent Office has allowed claims in a patent case that parallels US 7,824,612 (“Bodily fluid analyzer, and system including same and method for programming same”).

Richard C. Fuisz, M.D., commented: ""The allowance of parallel claims in Israel underscores the novelty of the ‘612 art, which enables a physician to set patient specific analyte threshold values, programming these physician set values onto a bodily fluid analyzer, and generating alert levels from a bodily fluid analyzer.

This allowance is an important addition to our current portfolio of diagnostic art, which includes the ‘612, a recent allowance in Japan based on the ‘612, and two separate pending US applications. One of these pending US applications deals with the consolidation, interpretation and presentation of data from bodily fluid analyzers. That means doctor friendly data. We cannot substitute algorithmic-driven server based conclusions for the doctor’s art. The second US application is a novel system directed to the promising field of breath-based diagnostics that recently published as US 20130239647 A1 (“Method and System to Amplify and Measure Breath Analytes”).”

Dr. Richard Fuisz is founding member of Fuisz Pharma LLC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Fuisz).

Joseph Fuisz, Managing Member of Fuisz Pharma LLC, stated: “The ‘612 patent has been subject to litigation brought by plaintiffs Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos (www.theranos.com) in the United States District Court for Northern California (5:11-cv-05236-PSG). A related action brought by Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos against a separate defendant in DC Superior Court was dismissed by Judge Craig Iscoe (2012 CA 009617 M). Fuisz Pharma LLC is confident it will prevail on the merits including on certain bases analogous to those cited by Judge Iscoe in his dismissal Order.”
