Howard J. Baum 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).

  • Molecular genetic identification using probes that recognize polymorphic loci
    Patent number: 5514547
    Abstract: Polynucleotide sequences and cloned DNA fragments useful for visualizing DNA polymorphism and other genetic analyses are disclosed herein. Specifically, polynucleotide probes and methods are employed to identify Variable Tandem Repeat (VTR) polymorphisms useful in paternity determination, forensics testing, disease diagnostics, cell line identification, ro chimerism/mosaicism determination as in distinguishing zygosity or following transplantation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 1994
    Date of Patent: May 7, 1996
    Assignee: Lifecodes Corporation
    Inventors: Ivan Balazs, Zvi G. Loewy, John Neuweiler, Howard J. Baum, Vivian Ruvolo
  • Compositions and methods useful for genetic analysis
    Patent number: 5206137
    Abstract: A method for obtaining polynucleotide sequences which are useful for detecting Variable Tandem Repeat polymorphism at multiple genetic loci and other genetic analyses under high stringency conditions (hence, with high specificity) is herein disclosed. Also disclosed are polynucleotide sequences and other compositions useful for DNA polymorphism and other genetic analyses.
    Type: Grant
