What is ST26 and Why Is It Needed?
The new ST26 format is now required for all biological sequence listings in patent applications. Introduced by WIPO, ST26 replaces the older ST.25 format and brings a modern approach to how genetic sequences are recorded and shared.
This format uses XML, making it more structured and easier for global patent offices to understand. However, the new rules are technical and detailed. Creating or converting listings without expert help can lead to mistakes, delays, or rejections.
What Makes ST26 Format Special?
The ST26 format comes with several new features that improve clarity and consistency across patent filings. Some of these include:
- Use of XML-based structured data
- Support for branched sequences and D-amino acids
- Precise labeling of modified residues
- Better annotation of sequence features
These updates help patent reviewers understand the invention more clearly. At the same time, they require careful formatting and full attention to detail.
