IP Sequence Search

IP Sequence Search

Overall, more and more law firms, pharmaceutical firms, biotech companies, and academia are using GenomeQuest as an integrated solution for all their IP sequence searching needs: including IP validity, freedom-to-operate, patent infringement, and business opportunity.

Major benefits include:

• perform all research from a web browser with zero IT costs and administration
• less time spent getting results
• increased quality of results
• the ability to search as early and often in your process as necessary

The amount of data recorded in global sequence databases is growing exponentially. And information about patented sequences is growing even faster. Legal professionals and scientists doing the critical work of IP research are seeking the best and fastest way to discover IP sequence information across these databases.

Previously, their options included outsourcing the work or serially combing through multiple, global databases — options which too often leave researchers with major challenges:

• “We are concerned that we are missing something”
• “We are overwhelmed with the sequence search results”
• “The analysis is the bottleneck in our sequence IP searching process”
• “Searching multiple databases and manually combining results is tedious and error-prone”
• “It’s too expensive to outsource”
• “We don’t have a consistent way to share and report our findings”

To overcome these challenges, IP specialists are increasingly turning to GQ-IP – an online IP research solution with easy-to-use, comprehensive content, search, and analysis tools.

Content

GQ-IP aggregates, normalizes, curates, and updates IP information across global databases, including USPTO, EPO, WIPO & PCT, INPADOC, GenBank, EMBL, DDBJ, SIPO, and paper filings from WIPO. Over 265,000 patents — including their sequences and all annotations – are now stored and updated bi-weekly in the GQ-PAT database. Users can also add in-house sequence data to GQ-IP.

Search

GQ-IP offers multiple search algorithms, including BLAST, GenePast, and more that work across their selected set of global databases.

Patent Search Workflow

Analysis

The GQ-IP result browser allows users to interactively query/filter/group on any field and quickly pinpoint matches of most interest.  Multiple users can even collaborate on shared datasets. GQ-IP also offers a set of comprehensive IP search reports.
