Dallas, Texas (August 1, 2011) – StockGuru shines its Spotlight on Bioheart, Inc. (OTCBB: BHRT) announced Friday that they have agreed to terms to enter into a license agreement with Airspeed Equity regarding four separate Bioheart patents. The proposed license agreement will have great benefits to both companies: Airspeed will be granted exclusive rights to these patents and all products associated with the patents. Airspeed will pay Bioheart milestone payments and royalties based on sales of potential products. Mike Tomas, President and CEO, stated, “Bioheart is currently focused on our core technology of muscle stem cells for congestive heart failure patients and we are excited about the opportunity to work with Airspeed to bring other Bioheart technologies to market.” The Company closed on Friday, July 29, 2011, at $0.137 per share with a market cap of $6.334 million.
The patents include methods of electrical stimulation and biological pacing which are marketed under the MyoStim™ product line. Howard Leonhardt, Bioheart’s Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, stated, “The discovery that low voltage electrical stimulation of the heart can both regenerate damaged heart tissue and replace high voltage implantable defibrillators for arrhythmia fibrillation recovery may change the course of care for the more than 30 million patients suffering of heart failure worldwide.”
“Bioheart’s patents fit perfectly within our medical industry strategy. We are pleased Bioheart selected us to commercialize what we believe will be successful products that can improve people’s lives,” said Alan Remen, Managing Director, Airspeed Equity.
