Markush Structure Searches

Markush Structure Search
DexPatent’s markush structure search helps to identify the patents or patent applications comprising chemical structures that are similar to the given structure. This is useful in the chemical industry, mainly pharmaceutical and agricultural fields, where many different chemical structures are covered by patents.

When is a Markush Structure search needed?

Examples & use cases of Markush Structure searches

Markush Structure Search
Analyzing Infringement

An agri company approaches DexPatent to perform a markush structure search to identify the relevant patents and to determine if the chemical product or its components fall within the claimed subject matter of existing patents. The search helps to assess the risks of potential infringement and FTO in specific markets or regions.

Filing a Patent application

A pharma company develops a new drug and plans to file a patent application for new API. In preparation, the company asks DexPatent team to conduct a markush structure search to identify the relevant patents disclosing the chemical structure of the new API to determine its patentability.

Licensing

A patent owner and licensor of a novel chemical product request DexPatent to conduct a markush structure search to make informed decisions regarding licensing agreements and royalty rates.
