Our Process

Our process for preparing Sequences Listings is more efficient and accurate than our competitors.  The results of this advantage can be seen in our lower fees, faster delivery and guarantee of acceptance at the Patent Office. 

Part of this improvement in efficiency and accuracy can be attributed to experience.  We have been preparing Sequence Listing for more than twenty years, beginning with the old standard, the “Alpha” format (ST.23 and ST.24) and transitioning to the current standard, the “Numeric” format (ST.25).  Align Sequences has both biotech scientists and registered patent agents creating your Sequence Listings, so our people know both the science and the law of Sequence Listings.

Our greater efficiency and accuracy can also be attributed to the tools we provide our people.  We designed, created and use our own proprietary software suite for creating Sequence Listings.  This software and its users create Listings more accurately and efficiently than possible with publically and commercially available Sequence Listing Tools. 

For this reason, we can offer to create a Sequence Listing for a particular application at both a faster rate and a lower fee than our competitors.  The high accuracy of the software in trained hands also permits us to offer a guarantee that the Sequence Listings we produce will be accepted by the Patent Office the first time they are submitted (any notice of incomplete reply will be addressed free of additional charges).
