Expands global intellectual property coverage in markets with high breast cancer incidence

New patent will provide IP protection of Breast Cancer Vaccine in China into 2040

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anixa Biosciences, Inc. ("Anixa" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on the treatment and prevention of cancer, today announced that the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) has issued Patent Number ZL2020800215666, covering key aspects of the Company's breast cancer vaccine technology.

Anixa's breast cancer vaccine, developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, represents a novel approach to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Anixa's vaccine is based on immunizing against human α-lactalbumin, a protein associated with lactation that is aberrantly expressed in certain types of breast cancer. This "retired" protein vaccine strategy aims to selectively prime the immune system to prevent tumor formation while avoiding harm to normal tissue. The vaccine was invented at Cleveland Clinic, and this patent—along with others related to this technology—has been exclusively licensed to Anixa Biosciences.

This patent issuance builds upon the Company's broad and expanding intellectual property portfolio, extending foundational patent protection for the breast cancer vaccine program into the 2040s in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. By reinforcing its global patent estate, Anixa is laying the groundwork for future international development and commercialization strategies.
