The USPTO recently announced that it will host a free 6 hour training session (with a one hour break for lunch) on Wednesday, December 6th, for version 3.3 of PatentIn. This particular course will review molecular biology, rules for sequencing, and review of various sequence listings from relatively easy to relatively complex. PatentIn is a computer program "designed to expedite the preparation of patent applications containing nucleic acid and amino acid sequences," generating sequence listings "that comply with all format requirements specified in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Standard ST.25 and the related U.S. final rule, "Requirements for Patent Applications Containing Nucleotide Sequence and/or Amino Acid Disclosures," 37 CFR §§1.821 - 1.825." Robert Wax, a Primary Examiner in Art Unit 1653, will instruct the course held at the main USPTO location. Space is limited so early registration is recommended, and according to the USPTO, if more than 16 people register, additional sessions will be scheduled to accommodate those who were not able to attend this session.
