SequenceBase Corporation and FIZ Karlsruhe announce significant improvement to the timeliness of USGENE to within only 3 days of publication by the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) - up to 10 days faster than any other comparable resource. Edison, NJ, USA / Karlsruhe, Germany, February 2008 - SequenceBase Corporation and FIZ Karlsruhe are pleased to announce that The USPTO Genetic Sequence Database, USGENE , on STN is now the most timely source of USPTO patent and published application sequence data - available within only 3 days of publication by the USPTO.
USGENE now provides weekly updates on Friday. Weekly updates comprise USPTO issued patent data published on Tuesday, and published application data published on Thursday. Issued patent sequence data is therefore available within 3 days, and published application sequence data is available within 1 day of publication by the USPTO.
USGENE is now established as the most timely resource for USPTO patent sequence data, updating 10 days faster than any other resource. USGENE typically includes USPTO data 1-3 months ahead of the infrequently updated USPTO sequence collection provided by the NCBI as a part of the patent division of their Genbank database.
USGENE provides a unique searchable combination of biological data - sequences, organism names, molecule types, sequence ID numbers and feature tables - with the original USPTO publication text." commented Martin Goffman, President and CEO, SequenceBase Corporation. "We are delighted to be able to bring this unrivalled USGENE content to our customers even more rapidly than ever before.
The unique combination of USGENE with prestigious STN patent sequence databases DGENE (GENESEQTM), PCTGEN and REGISTRY, gives life-science intellectual property professionals the ability to make business critical decisions with much greater certainty, said Sabine Br nger-Weilandt, President and CEO of FIZ Karlsruhe. "With USGENE, FIZ Karlsruhe is committed to bringing the very latest USPTO patent sequence content to our customers, now with never-before-seen speed and efficiency.
