New Sequence Listing Creation
We prepare sequence listings from raw sequence data, annotations, and invention disclosure materials, ensuring every feature key, qualifier, and organism name is properly formatted and biologically accurate.
Sequence Listing Preparation
Compliant. Precise. Filing-Ready.
Protect your biological innovations with sequence listings that meet every USPTO, EPO, and WIPO requirement — prepared by specialists who understand both the science and the legal standards.
Specialized IP Support
Accurate Sequence Listings. Fewer Office Actions. Faster Prosecution.
In the life sciences, a single formatting error in a sequence listing can delay patent prosecution, trigger costly Office Actions, or jeopardize a filing date. Legal Advantage LLC prepares fully compliant sequence listings for nucleotide and amino acid sequences in accordance with WIPO Standard ST.26, while also supporting legacy ST.25 formats for historical filings.
Service Coverage
What Our Sequence Listing Preparation Service Covers
ST.26 Conversion & Migration
We handle conversion of legacy ST.25 listings to the mandatory ST.26 XML format, preserving data integrity while aligning with the updated WIPO standard.
Review & Correction of Existing Listings
Our team audits existing listings, identifies compliance issues, and delivers corrected, filing-ready sequence listing documents.
Why It Matters
Why Sequence Listing Accuracy Is Non-Negotiable
Under 37 CFR § 1.821 and PCT regulations, sequence listings are mandatory for applications disclosing nucleotide or amino acid sequences. Errors in organism taxonomy, feature annotations, or XML formatting can create material prosecution risk.
