The resulting patent will cover the composition of the Company's chemically modified RNA polymerase enzyme branded Linea RNAP, with expected patent protection into 2041. Linea RNAP is a core component of the Company's Linea IVT platform that empowers mRNA manufacturers to produce better mRNA faster via a simplified mRNA production workflow with reduced or eliminated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) contamination. Applied DNA acquired the technology underlying the Linea RNAP via its acquisition of
'This patent allowance, coupled with the upcoming initiation of our GMP capabilities, demonstrates our commitment to supplying GMP-grade critical starting materials for the manufacture of mRNA,' said Dr.
About the Linea DNA and Linea IVT Platforms
The Linea DNA platform is an entirely cell-free DNA production platform founded on Applied DNA's long-standing expertise in the large-scale enzymatic production of DNA. Capable of producing DNA in quantities ranging from milligrams to grams, the Linea DNA platform can produce high-fidelity DNA constructs ranging from 100bp to 20kb in size. The DNA produced via the Linea DNA platform is free of the adventitious DNA sequences found in other sources of DNA, is rapidly scalable, and provides for simple chemical modification of DNA constructs.
The Linea IVT platform combines DNA IVT templates manufacturing via the Linea DNA platform with a proprietary Linea RNAP to enable mRNA and sa-mRNA manufacturers to produce what Applied DNA believes to be better mRNA faster, with advantages over conventional mRNA production, including: 1) the elimination of plasmid DNA as a starting material; 2) the prevention or reduction of double-stranded DNA (dsRNA) contamination and 3) simplified mRNA production workflows.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made by Applied DNA in this press release may be 'forward-looking' in nature within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe Applied DNA's future plans, projections, strategies, and expectations, and are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Applied DNA. Actual results could differ materially from those projected due to its history of net losses, limited financial resources, the availability of sufficient financial and other resources to meet business objectives and operational requirements the unknown future demand for its biotherapeutics products and services, the unknown amount of revenues and profits that will result from its Linea IVT and or Linea DNA platforms, the development and utilization of, and challenges to, our intellectual property, the fact that there has never been a commercial drug product utilizing PCR-produced DNA technology and/or the Linea IVT platform approved for therapeutic use, and various other factors detailed from time to time in Applied DNA's
