Michael O. Krauthammer 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).

  • Gene discovery through comparisons of networks of structural and functional relationships among known genes and proteins
    Patent number: 7974788
    Abstract: The present invention also relates to natural language processing and extraction of relational information associated with genes and proteins that are found in genomics journal articles. To enable access to information in textual form, the natural language processing system of the present invention provides systems and methods for extracting and structuring information found in the literature in a form appropriate for subsequent applications.

  • Methods for extracting information on interactions between biological entities from natural language text data
    Patent number: 6950753
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying novel genes comprising: (i) generating one and/or more specialized databases containing information on gene/protein structure, function and/or regulatory interactions; and (ii) searching the specialized databases for homology or for a particular motif and thereby identifying a putative novel gene of interest. The invention may further comprise performing simulation and hypothesis testing to identify or confirm that the putative gene is a novel gene of interest. The present invention also relates to natural language processing and extraction of relational information associated with genes and proteins that are found in genomics journal articles. To enable access to information in textual form, the natural language processing system of the present invention provides a method for extracting and structuring information found in the literature in a form appropriate for subsequent applications.
