LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2002--MoBeta, Inc. announced that U.S. Patent Number 6,440,487 for radioactive transition metal stents was assigned to the company today. This second MoBeta, Inc. patent addresses the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of implantable medical devices like stents in which the placement of transient radiation is deemed beneficial.
MoBeta, Inc. is a privately owned R&D company specializing in the creation of novel medical technology located in Los Altos, California. Incorporated in January 1999, it maintains a web site at mobetainc.com. Almost immediately after filing their first patent, the company founders were named defendants in Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (VAR), et al.'s., Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), a lawsuit that is presently in the California 6th District Court of Appeals.
Michelangelo Delfino, Vice President of MoBeta, Inc. and co-inventor said, "For months now, the FBI has been investigating a plethora of Internet death threats linked to this SLAPP and directed at the MoBeta, Inc. officers as well as a number of their attorneys. The FBI has since identified and made contact with two of the perpetrators, both of whom expressed "remorse" shortly after being caught. The case is in now in the hands of a United States Attorney."
Mary E. Day, President of MoBeta, Inc. and co-inventor added, "We are very pleased in the awarding of this second patent and are hopeful that this reign of Internet terror has come to an end. We look forward to the appeals process moving forward so that MoBeta can best return to serve the needs of the community."
