Protecting intellectual property rights in SELEX and aptamers

Author

  • Sampson, Tim

Abstract

In an earlier article, the author explained the technology of a particular field of combinatorial chemistry--using artificial DNA/RNA sequences--aptamers--as the screening ligand, and the SELEX protocol for exposing an aptamer library to the desired target. In the present article the author explores the types of claims currently being sought and granted for this technology. He considers the relevant legislation, and sets out his views on the validity of various approaches to seeking effective patent protection in this emerging technology, and the ways that protection may develop. He also investigates the potential value of seeking registered design rights in this area.
