U.S. Bulk Sequence Applications that Recite Rice Sequences in Claims

A number of patent applications have been filed in the U.S. that claim more than 1,000 nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences. These applications are referred to as "bulk sequence applications".

Below we have listed 12 bulk sequence applications. In all of the currently pending (i.e., not abandoned) applications below where the applicant has submitted a response to an office action, there is only a single nucleotide SEQ ID NO claimed per application.

It is likely that the large proportion of the rice genome that is claimed in patent applications may be attributable to these bulk sequence applications.
