Granted U.S. Patents: Percent Coverage by Oryza sativa Patent Claims per Genome Segment

The blue bars in the plots below represent the percent of coverage of a given 300 kbp segment by granted U.S. patents. For example, if an entire 300 kbp segment matched sequences that were recited in claims US patents, the plot would read 100% for that segment. If there were multiple recited sequences matching the rice chromosome, only the highest scoring genome match was counted.

Summary of plots:

The plots show that only a small percentage of the rice genome is recited in the claims of granted U.S. patents. The 300 kbp region with the highest percent coverage is chromosome 4, where one segment exhibits 3.55% patent coverage. For the entire rice genome, the percent coverage by granted U.S. patents is just 0.26%.
