MCC has developed a solid portfolio of intellectual property including proprietary scoring algorithms for standardized item-recall tests and a vast database of detailed clinical outcomes measures.

In addition, we have several patents issued or in process. These patents include:

• A method for assigning a numeric index to a pattern of recall;
• A method for identifying potential "cheaters" who are cognitively assessed over the phone;
• A novel scoring algorithm for an item-recall test;
• A method for combining advanced mathematics with models of underlying cognitive processes to effectively:
  • monitor progression of cognitive impairment
  • measure treatment effects
  • assimilate biomarker measures with cognitive measures as a means to achieving a diagnosis
• A method for translating cognitive performance onto a scale of functional ability

These patent filings, in addition to the lengthy data collection process upon which our technologies have been developed, provide the company with a defensible IP position and a strong competitive advantage.
