What is PSIPS and how is it related to Sequence Listings?
PSIPS stands for Publication Site for Issued and Published Sequences. It is a platform used by the USPTO for publishing lengthy Sequence Listings separately from the main patent document. MPEP 2419.02 states:
“Any ASCII text file produced by the USPTO that is 600KB or more, but under 1GB will be processed for separate publication on Publication Site for Issued and Published Sequences (PSIPS).”
This approach allows for efficient management and access to large Sequence Listings without overburdening the main patent publication.
