Ivy Thomson 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).

  • Isolated reductive dehalogenase genes
    Patent number: 8883416
    Abstract: The invention is directed to novel reductive dehalogenase genes encoding for reductive dehalogenases which are capable of dehalogenating halogenated organic compounds and may be useful in the bioremediation of pollutants. In particular, the invention provides an isolated polynucleotide of a novel vinyl chloride dehalogenase gene (bvcA). The novel vinyl chloride dehalogenase gene encodes a reductive dehalogenase that is capable of the complete reduction of vinyl chloride to ethene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2014
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Frank Loeffler, Kirsti M. Ritalahti, Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown, Ivy Thomson
