Licences - reagents

A license to perform the patented 5’ Nuclease Process for research is obtained by the purchase of (i) both Authorized 5' Nuclease Core Kit and Licensed Probe, (ii) a Licensed 5’ Nuclease Kit, or (iii) license rights from Applied Biosystems.

DyNAmo™ Probe qPCR Kits are Authorized 5' Nuclease Core Kits. Use of DyNAmo™ Probe qPCR Kits is covered by US Patent 6,127,155 and patent claims of unexpired non-US counterparts, if any, of US Patents Nos. 5,210,015, 5,487,971 and 6,127,155 . The purchase of DyNAmo™ Probe qPCR Kits includes a limited, non-transferable immunity from suit under the foregoing patent claims for using only this amount of product for the purchaser's own internal research. Separate purchase of a Licensed Probe would convey rights under the applicable claims of US Patents Nos. 5,538,848, 5,723,591, 5,876,930, 6,030,787, 6,258,569, 5,804,375 (claims 1-12 only), and corresponding claims outside the United States. No right under any other patent claim and no right to perform commercial services of any kind, including without limitation reporting the results of purchaser's activities for a fee or other commercial consideration, is conveyed expressly, by implication, or by estoppel. DyNAmo™ Probe qPCR Kits are for research use only. Diagnostic uses under Roche patents require a separate license from Roche. Further information on purchasing licenses may be obtained from the Director of Licensing, Applied Biosystems, 850 Lincoln Centre Drive, Foster City, California 94404, USA.

Use of DyNAmo™ Probe qPCR Kits may also require licenses from other third parties such as, but not limited to, the owners of Displacing probes and Molecular beacons. Purchase of DyNAmo Probe qPCR Kits does not provide such licenses and further information on purchasing licenses to practice this technology must be obtained from the appropriate intellectual property owners of such technology.

Use of DyNAmo™ SYBR® Green qPCR Kits is covered by one or more of the following US patents and corresponding patent claims outside the US: 6,127,155, 5,994,056 and 6,171,785. The purchase of DyNAmo™ SYBR® Green qPCR Kits includes a limited, non-transferable immunity from suit under the foregoing patent claims for using only this amount of product for the purchaser's own internal research. No right under any other patent claim (such as apparatus or system claims in US Patent No. 6,814,934) and no right to perform commercial services of any kind, including without limitation reporting the results of purchaser's activities for a fee or other commercial consideration, is conveyed expressly, by implication, or by estoppel. DyNAmo™ SYBR® Green qPCR Kits are for research use only. Diagnostic uses under Roche patents require a separate license from Roche. Further information on purchasing licenses may be obtained from the Director of Licensing, Applied Biosystems, 850 Lincoln Centre Drive, Foster City, California 94404, USA.
