Patents by Inventor Jody E. Beecher

Jody E. Beecher 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).

  • Chemical amplification for the synthesis of patterned arrays
    Publication number: 20040203056
    Abstract: Radiation-activated catalysts (RACs), autocatalytic reactions, and protective groups are employed to achieve a. highly sensitive, high resolution, radiation directed combinatorial synthesis of pattern arrays of diverse polymers. When irradiated, RACs produce catalysts that can react with enhancers, such as those involved in autocatalytic reactions. The autocatalytic reactions produce at least one product that removes protecting groups from synthesis intermediates. This invention has a wide variety of applications and is particularly useful for the solid phase combinatorial synthesis of polymers.
