The CAMBIA-BIOS Patent Resource site has a wealth of information on agricultural biotechnology patents. It was developed by CAMBIA, Australia and includes a free full-text Life Science Patent Database and an analysis of major patent positions on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants. The database contains over 1,500,000 life science patents and patent applications from the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), United States Patent and Trademark Office (US-PTO), Australian and European Patent Office databases. |

Agricultural Biotechnology Intellectual Property, available on the USDA Economic Research Service webpages, identifies and describes utility patents on inventions in biotechnology and other biological processes that are used in food and agriculture, and that were issued in the United States between 1976 and 2000. The database also provides information about the ownership of these patents, whether patents are held in the public or private sector, and any changes in patent ownership due to firm mergers, acquisitions and spin-off businesses. |

The DNA Patent Database (DPD) based at Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA allows free searching of full text and analysis of all DNA patents issued by the US PTO. Patents included in the DPD were identified by virtue of PTO classification and the presence of keywords such as “DNA” within the body of the patent. |

The PIPRA Agricultural IP Database was established to monitor and advertise, on an ongoing basis, the status information of PIPRA member institutions' agricultural biotechnology intellectual properties. The PIPRA Agricultural IP Database allows member institutions to effectively contact out some of their technology through increasing exposure of their availability. Furthermore, this database can provide a rich researchable source of information about patent accessibility to all organisations seeking freedom to operate in agricultural biotechnology. You must first register to gain access. |
