Chiron simplifies sequence search

Dedicated to preventing transfusion-transmitted diseases, Chiron delivers innovative blood-screening tools, products and services to protect the world's blood supply.

Chiron's patent agents faced increasing demands for quick turnaround of information for IP attorneys and research investigators. Chiron wanted to consolidate the number of search systems and databases needed to answer freedom-to-operate and patentability questions quickly, simply, and with confidence.

GenomeQuest proposed a solution combining the GenomeQuest search engine, along with the company's GQ-pat patent sequence reference data. This solution now allows Chiron patent agents and bioinformatic support personnel to collaboratively and productively complete searches, eliminate irrelevant hits, and to generate reports and analyze results.
