What statement must be included in the transmittal letter for sequence listing submissions on compact disc?
When submitting a sequence listing on compact disc, a specific statement must be included in the transmittal letter. According to MPEP 2422.03:
“A statement that the content of the compact disc is duplicative of the written sequence listing, if such a written sequence listing is filed with the application, must be included in the transmittal letter.”
This statement serves to confirm that the content on the compact disc matches the written sequence listing, if one is also provided. Additionally, the transmittal letter should indicate that the sequence listing is being submitted on a compact disc.
