U.S. Applications that Recite Oryza sativa Nucleotide Sequences in Claims
The blue bars in the plot below represent the number of US patent applications filed per month that recite at least one Oryza sativa nucleotide sequence in their claims. The applications are plotted by their filing date. In order to be included in the graph, the sequence had to be at least 150 base pairs in length and have a BLAST E value that was less than 1e-200. Note that there is an 18 month delay between when an application is filed and when it is published, so the data for the last 18 months is incomplete.
Summary
Similar to the previous page showing all U.S. applications, this plot indicates that the number of applications that recite Oryza sativa nucleotide sequences in the claims appears to be decreasing. The number of applications reciting rice sequences appears to have peaked in 2003.
