U.S. Patent Applications: 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 U.S. patent applications. For example, if an entire 300 kbp segment matched sequences that were recited in claims US patent applications, 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 a large percentage of the rice genome is recited in the claims of granted U.S. patents. Approximately 74% of the rice genome is recited in claims of U.S. patent applications.
