Biocytogen Secures Japan Patent for RenMab Platform, Expands Global Patent Portfolio for RenMice Fully Human Antibody/TCR Platform
Beijing, China:
Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Biocytogen, HKEX: 02315) today announced that the key technology of its independently developed RenMab™fully human antibody mouse platform has been granted an invention patent by the Japan Patent Office (JPO). This milestone marks a significant step in strengthening the global intellectual property portfolio of the RenMice® fully human antibody platform family. It underscores the continued advancement of Biocytogen's comprehensive global patent strategy and highlights the innovation and international recognition of the company's proprietary technologies.
RenMab™ mice are a core member of Biocytogen's independently developed RenMice® fully human antibody discovery platform family. Using Biocytogen's proprietary Size-Unlimited and Precise Chromosome Engineering (SUPCE®) technology, the complete repertoire of murine immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain variable region genes was precisely replaced in situ with their human counterparts. As a result, RenMab mice have the full repertoire of human antibody heavy chain VDJ and light chain VJ genes. It retains the ability to mount robust immune responses against diverse antigens, comparable to wild-type mice, and can generate fully human antibodies with native-like diversity, significantly improving the efficiency and success rate of discovering high-potential therapeutic candidates. Importantly, antibodies derived from RenMab mice require no additional humanization, effectively minimizing immunogenicity risks and streamlining the antibody drug development process.
With distinct advantages in discovering fully human antibodies and TCRs with low immunogenicity, high diversity, favorable affinity, and excellent physicochemical properties, Biocytogen's RenMice platform series (RenMab™/RenLite®/RenNano®/RenTCR-mimic™/RenTCR™) has gained widespread recognition in the global biotech and biopharmaceutical industry. Licensing agreements have been established with 20+ companies, including Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, Janssen/ Johnson & Johnson, and BeiGene. Leveraging the RenMice platform, the RenBiologics™ program has generated over 1,000,000 fully human antibody sequences and numerous high-potential preclinical candidates against more than 1,000 therapeutic targets. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 200 agreements encompassing therapeutic antibody co-development, out-licensing, and asset transfers have been executed, highlighting the RenMice platform's strong global competitiveness and significant commercial value.
With its sustained independent research and cutting-edge technological innovation capabilities, Biocytogen has been actively advancing its global patent portfolio and key technology protections for the RenMice® platform. To date, the RenMice platform has secured patent grants in nearly 10 countries, including the U.S., China, and Japan, while nearly 40 patent applications are under examination across 15 countries and regions. With the steady progress of the global patent strategy, additional patent grants are anticipated in the near term. This strong intellectual property protection framework will continue to deliver reliable assurance to Biocytogen's partners worldwide.

F1 Owner Expands Motorsport Empire with MotoGP Takeover
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The owner of Formula One, Liberty Media Corporation, confirmed on July 3 that it has completed the purchase of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports. Apart from F1, Quint, and other minority investments, the American organization now lists MotoGP as a subsidiary. Liberty Media, a renowned player in the sports, media, and entertainment sector, acquired 84 percent of Dorna. The remaining 16 percent is held by the MotoGP management. The news arrives days after Newsweek Sports reported that Liberty Media was granted unconditional approval for the acquisition of Dorna for a reported $4.4 billion. Confirming the transaction, MotoGP stated: Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. JOSE JORDAN / AFP/Getty Images "Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") (Nasdaq: FWONA, FWONK, LLYVA, LLYVK) and Dorna Sports, S.L. ("Dorna"), the exclusive commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship ("MotoGP"), announced today that Liberty Media has completed its acquisition of Dorna. "Following transaction close, Liberty Media's Formula One Group is composed of its subsidiaries Formula 1, MotoGP, and Quint, and other minority investments." The takeover of MotoGP was supposed to conclude last year, but given the high-profile nature of the acquisition, the deal was under the European Union's lens, which carried out an investigation to understand the deal's impact on broadcasters and streaming platforms, especially given that two motorsport giants, F1 and MotoGP, would belong to a common owner. Following the European Union's approval, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna, who will continue to manage MotoGP, said in a statement: "We are very happy that the European Commission has approved the transaction. This is an important milestone confirming the even brighter future that lies ahead for MotoGP. "MotoGP is one of the most thrilling sports on Earth, and we look forward to accelerating the sport's growth and expanding its reach to even more fans around the world. Liberty is the best possible partner for our sport and the entire MotoGP community, and we are excited to create even greater value for our fans, commercial partners and everyone competing." Liberty Media President and CEO, Derek Chang said: "Today's approval from the European Commission marks the final condition to closing Liberty's acquisition of MotoGP. We are thrilled to officially commence Liberty's partnership with Carmelo and his excellent management team. "MotoGP is a highly attractive premium sports asset with incredible racing, a passionate fanbase and a strong cash flow profile. We believe the sport and brand have significant growth potential, which we will look to realize through deepening the connection with the core fan base and expanding to a wider global audience." Considering the success F1 has witnessed since its acquisition by Liberty Media in 2017, and its expansion into new markets such as America, one could expect MotoGP to grow in a similar manner.
