Patents by Inventor David K. Taggart

David K. Taggart has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electrically conductive polymer electrodes with incorporated viruses
    Patent number: 9062353
    Abstract: Grafting M13 bacteriophage into an array of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires generated hybrids of conducting polymers and replicable genetic packages (rgps) such as viruses. The incorporation of rgps into the polymeric backbone of PEDOT occurs during electropolymerization via lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE). The resultant arrays of rgps-PEDOT nanowires enable real-time, reagent-free electrochemical biosensing of analytes in physiologically relevant buffers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2015
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Gregory A. Weiss, Reginald M. Penner, Jessica A. Arter, David K. Taggart, Keith C. Donavan
