GenomeQuest, a US-based provider of sequence data management (SDM) products, has announced plans to host a free IP seminar with information provider Thomson Reuters, US, on June 10 in South San Francisco. The seminar, Web-based Searching for Patent Information Across Global Sequence Databases, will be held at Embassy Suites Hotel.
The amount of data recorded in global sequence databases is seen to be growing exponentially, and information about patented sequences is said to be 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.
Their options include outsourcing the work or serially searching through the full set of global databases. Increasingly, they are claimed to be choosing a third alternative - GenomeQuest, an online, single point of IP information with mining tools. More than 160 life science companies purportedly use GenomeQuest for mission-critical work, including 17 of the top 20 pharmaceuticals.
Geneseq is the manually curated value added biological sequence database from Thomson Reuters. The planned presentation will show the complimentary role of Geneseq to other patent sequence resources such as GQ-PAT. The company will explore trends in biological sequence patenting and why accessing Geneseq via the GenomeQuest live solution may give users a competitive edge.
Registration for the seminar can be done online at www.genomequest.com/IPseminarWest.
