Reunion Neuroscience Files Lawsuit Against Mindset Pharma

Reunion Neuroscience Inc. (NASDAQ: REU / TSX: REUN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative and patented therapeutic solutions for underserved mental health conditions, has filed a lawsuit today against Mindset Pharma Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that Mindset knowingly copied Reunion’s RE104 compound and misleadingly presented that exact composition to the Patent Office as Mindset’s invention while applying for U.S. Patent No. 11,591,353 (“‘353 Patent”). Reunion thus seeks to add the original and sole inventor of Reunion’s RE104 — Dr. Nathan Bryson, Reunion’s Chief Scientific Officer — as an inventor of the ‘353 Patent. Reunion additionally asserts claims for, among others, co-ownership of the ‘353 Patent, inequitable conduct in the prosecution of the ‘353 Patent, and breach of contract. The complaint can be accessed here.

Reunion is proud of its inventions to further its mission to improve the lives of patients and families who suffer from depression and other mental health disorders and intends to vigorously protect its intellectual property position to the fullest extent.

Reunion is committed to developing innovative therapeutic solutions for underserved mental health conditions. The Company’s lead asset, RE104, a proprietary, novel, serotonergic psychedelic compound and the only 4-OH-DiPT prodrug in clinical development, is being developed as a potential treatment for postpartum depression that could provide rapid symptom relief and durable efficacy. RE104 is protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,292,765 issued on April 5, 2022 (priority June 30, 2020), with claims for composition of matter, methods of manufacturing, formulations and methods of use for a genus of hemi-ester tryptamines, including RE104, which could provide protection out to June 30, 2041. Reunion is also developing the RE200 series, which includes preclinical compounds with enhanced receptor selectivity to address additional therapeutic applications.
