Biophan CEO Michael Weiner Speaks about Company's Intellectual Property Expansion in Interview with BiomedDiscoveries.com

Biophan Continues to Strengthen Patent Portfolio with a Variety of Groundbreaking Solutions for Biomedical Devices


LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- BiomedDiscoveries.com, http://www.BiomedDiscoveries.com, the online source for exclusive investor information in the biotechnology sector, has announced the availability of an online interview with Michael Weiner, CEO of Biophan Technologies (OTCBB:BIPH), a developer of next-generation medical technology.

Biophan has recently announced the filing of 13 new patent applications, expanding its intellectual property portfolio to 127 U.S. issued, pending, and exclusively licensed patents, in addition to 46 international issued and pending patents.

In the interview, Mr. Weiner focuses on the Company's new patent applications, which he describes as varying in scope and detail, but all integral to the Company's "patent thicket" business strategy to ensure market leadership. That strategy seeks to safeguard Biophan's intellectual property and minimize any chances of copycat competition by casting a wide patent net around its technological innovations.

The technologies described in its new patent applications expand Biophan's coverage of nanomagnetic and other device coatings, specialized dielectric materials, biothermal power sources, certain photonic diagnostics and therapies, and other innovations. Many of the Company's technologies provide solutions to ensure safety and image compatibility of implanted and interventional medical devices with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnostic equipment.

A growing body of published medical research is drawing attention to the need for improved safety and visualization of MRI imaging with pacemakers and other implanted devices, many of which are currently contraindicated for use in MRI systems. The electromagnetic environments of MRI can cause many of these devices to heat up dangerously, to create induced voltages, or to malfunction, potentially causing serious harm or death to patients. Other devices such as stents are safe for use with MRI, but interfere with imaging by MRI, which limits their functionality. Biophan has technologies to address both of these limitations.

In the interview, Mr. Weiner also discusses the relative economic efficiency of the Company's research and development initiatives, noting that most technology companies typically spend far more to develop their intellectual property on a per-patent basis.

About Biophan Technologies

Biophan develops and markets cutting-edge technologies designed to make biomedical devices safe and compatible with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. The Company develops enabling technologies for implanted medical systems such as pacemakers and interventional surgical devices such as catheters, guidewires, stents, and other implants to allow them to be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create MRI contrast agents, and has expanded to include other applications, such as drug delivery and power systems derived from body heat. Four Biophan technologies include advances in nanotechnology and thin film coatings. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors now hold a total of 127 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications. This total includes 36 issued U.S. patents, 9 recently-allowed applications that will issue as patents in the near future, and 82 pending applications at various stages of examination at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, plus international applications. The patents cover areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, thermoelectric materials for batteries generating power from body heat, and photonics. Biophan has joint development arrangements with Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) and NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology. Biophan's goal is to make all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI, and delivering other technologies which will improve quality of life.
