Patenting pharmacophore models have been an issue for some time.
There
are a number of patents that are still pending, but there are also some that
are issued. Those patents that are issued are not just the pharmacophore
model
itself, but the model in conjunction with other
inventions. There is a nice, but somewhat dated discussion on this
at: Pieraccioli D. "Patenting the pharmacophore", Curr. Drug. Disc. 2002, October, pp
40-43 Also some mention on this in my monologue, where I list some of the
patents that are pending, and some that are issued: Güner, O.F. "The impact of pharmacophore modeling in
drug design,"
IDrugs, 2005 8(7),

[e.willighagen]_[science.ru.nl] Hi all, Today I learned that software pattents have hit chemistry,
chemoinformatics in this case: http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=WO2005001743&F=0 I have no idea on the impact of this pattent, but was wondering if
others saw more software pattents in chemistry, and wether software pattents in
chemistry affected work in our field. Anyone who has experience with software pattents in cheminformatics,
computational chemistry and the likes? Egon -- e.willighagen++science.ru.nl PhD student on Molecular Representation in
