Intellectual property strategy in bioinformatics and biochips.

Intellectual property rights are essential in today's technology-driven age. A strong intellectual property protection strategy is crucial in the bioinformatics and biochips technology spaces as monetary and temporal resources are tremendous in finding a blockbuster drug or gene therapy, as well as in deploying advanced biosensor and other medical systems. Current problems and intellectual property practice in the genomic space are presented and analyzed. Various strategy and solutions are proposed to guide bioinformatic and biochip companies in forming an aggressive strategy to protect one's intellectual property and competitive positioning.

Patent prosecution in structural proteomics.

This paper presents a brief overview of intellectual property rights and the various areas in proteomics to which intellectual property rights may be applicable. Technology transfer, including licensing and business agreements, are not covered in this paper. Instead, issues and complications related to national and overseas patent prosecution in this relatively new field will be discussed.
