USGENE Workshop Description
The USPTO Genetic Sequence Database, USGENE,
encompasses all available nucleotide and amino
acid sequences available from relevant USPTO issued
(granted) patents and published applications.
The database is updated within 3 days of USPTO
publication and includes patent sequences dating
back to 1982. USGENE brings together several disparate
sources of USPTO sequence data with key elements
of bibliographic and full-text data to provide
a unified platform where patent searchers can
seamlessly combine sequence, date, and patent
claims text searching. In this workshop, the various
sources for creating USGENE will be outlined,
along with practical examples of how USGENE should
be utilized by patent information professionals.
In particular, the recommended "best-practice"
methodology for effective multi-file patent sequence
searching with GENESEQ
on STN (DGENE) will be reviewed. This workshop
will be of interest to novice, intermediate and
expert STN patent sequence searchers.
