Source: Infomail ABREU, MERKL no. 26

The Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI/BR) published the Resolution no. 210/09, dated 14.May.2009, changing the rules for the inclusion of nucleotide and amino acid sequence listings in patent applications.

According to the new rules, the representation of sequence listings should follow the Standard ST. 25 of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the listings must be entirely recorded in two identical files in a non-rewritable CD or DVD, one in PDF (Portable Document Format) and the other in TXT (text format). A paper copy of the sequence list may be also submitted.
