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.
