Freedom-to-Operate
A freedom-to-operate search is an indispensable prerequisite to investment in a large sequence-based technology project, such as generating leads around a selected gene family. Will a dominant patent prevent monetization of patent portfolio sequences? Will one or more royalty obligations cut into ROI? What are the viable strategies for clearing FTO? What are the relevant expiration dates of related patents?
GenomeQuest enables IP professionals to investigate and answer these and many other FTO questions swiftly, thoroughly, independently, and confidently. GenomeQuest's GenePAST algorithm finds legally meaningful sequence similarities. GenomeQuest's keyword search categorizes and displays data matching any combination of patent and biological information. And the GQ-PAT patent sequence database provides direct access to 138 thousand patent sequence documents.
Search and retrieve according to detailed patent legal status information. GenomeQuest search results indicate whether patented sequences have patent equivalents or belong to patent families. Rapid filtering capabilities, enabled by GenomeQuest's FilterSmart technolgy, ensure that freedom-to-operate search reports produced using GenomeQuest are free of irrelevant data and provide clear summary information for confident decision-making.
