Why is a sequence listing needed?
Separate sequence listing documents are required
It is necessary to submit separate sequence listing documents to represent the disclosed sequences when submitting a patent application for inventions in which specific sequences are disclosed in the patent specifications.
Which sequences must be listed
For every DNA sequence with ten (10) or more nucleotides and/or any amino acid sequence with four (4) or more specified amino acids, patent offices require the applicants to submit sequence listings in a standard format (WIPO Standard ST26, WIPO Standard ST25, US 37 C.F.R. 1.821–1.825).
Who requires a sequence listing?
IP lawyers (in corporations or law firms) who are writing the patents for DNA and peptide sequences.

Sequence listing benefits
Sequences carry real legal weight
Genetic sequences are regarded legally and practically in a patent document as either chemical molecules or as elements that encode information. Their structure and function are quite significant in determining patent eligibility or infringement.
One listing accepted everywhere
An applicant can create a single listing through the use of a sequence listing that will be accepted by all receiving offices, preliminary examining authorities, and international searching authorities, as well as all selected and chosen national phase offices and international phase offices.

I used Synoptic for a validity search and was pleased with the results. The rates were highly competitive, the deliverable was on time, and the results were as good as (if not better than) other searches I’ve used.
