generation of monoclonal antibodies based on its Dynamic Cross Linking
(DXL(TM)) technology, announced today that it has received patent grants in
Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain and Italy further expanding patent
protection of its DXL(TM) technology in Europe. The patents, titled "METHOD

manufacture antibodies based on its DXL(TM) technology platform. The new

"These patent grants demonstrate our commitment to providing real value to
our shareholders by protecting and ensuring exclusivity of our DXL(TM)
technology. Our patent portfolio provides potential for future royalty and
licensing deals or outright sales of our expanding and maturing family of
DXL(TM) preclinical candidates," said Jeff Morhet, Chairman and CEO of
InNexus. "Patents are the currency of our industry and these patent grants
also provide InNexus with additional tools to prevent others from making,
using and selling DXL(TM) antibodies."
