Patent Analysis: United States Patent 9,933,147

The patent in question, US 9,933,147, was granted to Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on March 20, 2018. The patent's primary focus lies within the realm of RNA interference (RNAi), specifically targeting siRNA (small interfering RNA) sequences for genetic material modification and inhibition.

Background and Claims

The patent application filed on November 6, 2013, and assigned to Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resulted in the issuance of the patent with 10 claims of varying scope. Claim 1 primarily focuses on a method for reducing or inhibiting expression of a target gene using a siRNA or other silencing RNA molecule.

Key aspects of the patent include:

  • A siRNA molecule as a primary agent for gene therapy
  • Anti-apoptotic gene silencing: suppression of target protein expression that causes cell death
  • Methods for the synthesis of these RNA constructs using various linker configurations
  • Target sequences designed to modulate and treat diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders
  • Delivery methods using biodegradable drug delivery systems

The claimed inventions embody the field's advancements in precise genetic manipulation, emerging as foundational technology within its area.

Scope and Prior Art

The application process and corresponding patents build upon the foundational knowledge established by Eddy, M.J. et al.'s invention, released around 1998 of "Inhibition of Gene Expression in Cultured Mammalian Cells using Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotides".

The present patent further outlines additional potential gene targets and optimization strategies within RNAi technology and emphasizes the utility in modulating gene expression to prevent disease progression.

Patent 9,933,147 highlights Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s innovative contributions and strengthens its leadership position in developing therapies based on RNA interference. Since the emergence of RNA interference as a therapeutic strategy, we continue witnessing new applications in medical treatment, alongside potential breakthroughs.
