Robert J. D'Amato 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).

  • Patent number: 11008131
    Abstract: A vessel has an inner flap and an outer flap that fold across a base of the vessel to form a cover. The inner flap includes a dam tab along the outer edge of the inner flap. When the inner flap is folded down, the free edge of this tab contacts the wall of the vessel and bends upward forming a “folded edge” dam. This folded edge dam can either be one segment or be made of two or more segments divided by one or more V-shaped cuts to allow each segment to fold down and fit together seamlessly. A restrictive channel is formed by the outer and inner flaps together with the “folded edge” dam, which is present in-between the outer and inner flaps.

  • Patent number: 8039488
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a group of compounds that effectively inhibit angiogenesis. More specifically, thalidomide and various related compounds such as thalidomide precursors, analogs, metabolites and hydrolysis products have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis and to treat disease states resulting from angiogenesis. Additionally, antiinflammatory drugs, such as steroids and NSAIDs can inhibit angiogenesis dependent diseases either alone or in combination with thalidomide and related compounds. Importantly, these compounds can be administered orally.

  • Publication number: 20090092652
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that protective antigen related molecules (PARMs) without anthrax lethal factor have antiangiogenic or anticancer properties. The invention is directed to a method of inhibiting an angiogenic disease/disorder or cancer. Additionally, the invention can be applied to those at risk for developing cancer or an angiogenic disease/disorder comprising administering to a mammal an angiogenesis-inhibiting or cancer inhibiting amount of an PARM (including analogs, or derivative thereof having angiogenesis-inhibiting or anticancer activity, consisting of PA, PA fragment, analog, or derivative that is administered in a composition substantially free of anthrax lethal factor or other toxins).
