Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 8, 2023) - BioMark Diagnostics Inc. (CSE: BUX) (FSE: 20B) (OTC Pink: BMKDF) ("BioMark"), an advanced stage liquid biopsy company with a focus on hard to detect and treat cancers is pleased to announce that the Japan Patent Office (JPO) has issued Divisional Patent Application N° 7311659 titled "Methods of detecting lung cancer" using urine biomarkers. The issued patent belongs to a larger family of patents on the Company's biomarker panel for detecting lung cancer.

"We are excited to expand our patent portfolio by offering clinicians and patients another more convenient and non-invasive option to detect lung cancer using novel and urine-based biomarkers. This robust panel of biomarkers demonstrates the company's technological capabilities in accelerating translational science in the dynamic field of metabolomics. Over the years, the company has successfully developed highly sensitive assays using saliva, plasma, and urine mediums. In Japan approximately 125K new cases of lung cancer are reported annually," said Rashid Bux, CEO and President of BioMark.

BioMark's patent estate creates shareholder value by giving the Company an opportunity to tap into this vast cancer diagnostic market.
