Patenting inventions in combinatorial chemistry.
I have intended to provide an overview of some patent strategies for protecting intellectual property in the combinatorial chemistry arts, along with examples taken from recently issued patents. The opinions in this paper are those of the author, and are not intended to be relied upon as legal advice. Specific questions about any particular patent or invention should be discussed with competent counsel before action is taken. If you would like to look at the patents discussed in this article, they are available on-line at http:¿www.patents.ibm.com/boolquery and at other locations.
