U.S. Patent Applications that Recite Rice Sequences in Claims
The table below lists all of the U.S. patent applications that in the claims, recite nucleotide sequences that are highly similar or identical to rice genome sequences. The criteria for each sequence was that they had a BLAST E value of e-200 or less and were at least 150 nucleotides in length. The status date refers to the last time that we checked the status in PAIR. To view the sequences associated with the claims of an application, click on the number in the “Number of Sequences in Claims” column.
We included applications that were abandoned but that have a pending family member that recites rice sequences in the claims. We also included abandoned applications that have a pending continuation applications that have not yet published. For these non-published continuation applications, we don’t know if rice sequences are recited in the claims because the sequences are not yet available.
Summary
As of March 2008, there were 313 pending applications that recite sequences identical to or highly similar to rice.
