James Kehler has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods for producing hypo-allergenic cats using gene editing technology
    Patent number: 12402609
    Abstract: A genetically modified cat produced through gene editing with a phenotype characterized by the substantial absence of the major cat allergen, Fel d I. The phenotype is conferred in the genetically modified cat by targeting either the gene sequence of the Fel d I locus or sequences flanking the coding sequence of the two contiguous Fel d I genes with specialized gene editing constructs. The genotype and phenotype of the genetically modified cat is transmissible to its offspring.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2025
    Assignee: FELIX PETS, LLC
    Inventors: David B. Avner, Sven Bocklandt, James Kehler
  • Method of genetically altering and producing allergy free cats
    Patent number: 10626417
    Abstract: A transgenic cat with a phenotype characterized by the substantial absence of the major cat allergen, Fel d I. The phenotype is conferred in the transgenic cat by disrupting the coding sequence of the target gene with a specialized construct. The phenotype of the transgenic cat is transmissible to its offspring.
