Press Release Japan Patent Office Selects TimeLogic Equipment TimeLogic Corporation announced today that it had been awarded a contract to supply DeCypher Computational Genomic Server equipment to the Japanese Patent Office. The powerful Computational Genomic Server equipment selected by the JPO, after an extensive competitive evaluation, will greatly increase the JPO's processing capability for genomic sequence patents. The field of genomics is growing rapidly, as companies investigate the genetic sequences of plants and animals, including humans, looking for the next product breakthrough. In order for companies to protect their work, they file patents to claim novel discoveries. Recently, the volume of patents for genetic sequences have reached unprecedented proportions. Sensitive and unique search algorithms, accelerated to supercomputing speeds by an array of parallel processors in the TimeLogic equipment, provide the means to rapidly search through exponentially expanding DNA and protein sequence databases to determine if claimed sequences are truly novel. In selecting DeCypher, the JPO has taken a leadership position, greatly expanding their computing resources. The DeCypher equipment will allow higher productivity and faster processing of genetic patent applications. It is common for a patent application to have a sequence claim that requires several hours on mainframe computers to match against all of the world's genetic sequence databases. In fact many applications contain hundreds or thousands of such claims. Processing requiring hours on a mainframe can be processed in seconds on the DeCypher Computational Genomic Server by TimeLogic.
