Intellectual Property 

United States Provisional Patent 

Application No. 61/040,005, filed March 

27, 2008 and entitled ‘‘Human 

Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for 

Mesothelin’’ [HHS Reference No. 

E–079–2008/0–US–01]; 

PCT Patent Application PCT/US2009/ 

038228, filed March 25, 2009 and 

entitled ‘‘Human Monoclonal Antibody 

Against Mesothelin’’ [HHS Reference 

No. E–079–2008/0–PCT–02]; and US 

Patent No. 8,357,783, filed September 

22, 2010, Issued January 22, 2013 and 

entitled ‘‘Human Anti-Mesothelin 

Monoclonal Antibodies’’ [HHS 

Reference No. E–079–2008/0–US–06]. 

The patent rights in these inventions 

have been assigned and/or exclusively 

licensed to the government of the 

United States of America. 

The prospective exclusive license 

territory may be worldwide and the 

field of use may be limited to: ‘‘The 

development of a mesothelin chimeric 

antigen receptor (CAR)-based 

immunotherapy using autologous or 

allogeneic T cells either transduced 

with a retroviral vector (including 

lentiviral vectors) or modified using a 

gene-editing technology, wherein the 

vector expresses a CAR comprising: 

(1) Single antigen specificity for 

binding to mesothelin, and 

(2) at least (a) the complementary 

determining region (CDR) sequences of 

the anti-mesothelin antibody known as 

m912, and (b) a T cell signaling domain; 

for the prophylaxis and treatment of 

mesothelin-expressing human cancers.’’ 

This technology discloses a 

monoclonal antibody and methods of 

using the antibody for the treatment of 

mesothelin-expressing cancers, 

including mesothelioma, lung cancer, 

stomach/gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, 

and pancreatic cancer. The specific 

antibody covered by this technology is 

designated as m912, which is a fully 

human monoclonal antibody against 

mesothelin. 

Mesothelin is a cell surface antigen 

that is preferentially expressed on 

certain types of cancer. The m912 

antibody selectively binds to the 

mesothelin on the surface of cancer cells 

and induces cell death of those cancer 

cells while leaving healthy cells 

unharmed. This selectivity may lead to 

fewer side effects due to decreased nonspecific killing of cells. 

This notice is made in accordance 

with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. 

The prospective exclusive license will 

be royalty bearing, and the prospective 

exclusive license may be granted unless 

within fifteen (15) days from the date of 

this published notice, the National 

Cancer Institute receives written 

evidence and argument that establishes 

that the grant of the license would not 

be consistent with the requirements of 

35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. 

In response to this Notice, the public 

may file comments or objections. 

Comments and objections, other than 

those in the form of a license 

application, will not be treated 

confidentially, and may be made 

publicly available. 

License applications submitted in 

response to this Notice will be 

presumed to contain business 

confidential information and any release 

of information in these license 

applications will be made only as 

required and upon a request under the 

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552.
