This IBSP Biologics Sequence Review Report was produced with PatSnap Biology Modality MCP workflows. It turns patent-scale sequence search, sequence retrieval, pairwise alignment and target evidence into a reproducible diligence narrative. Explore the PatSnap MCP servers used in this report.
Review date: 18 August 2026. This report supports R&D, competitive-intelligence and IP triage. It is not a legal opinion, freedom-to-operate conclusion or validity analysis. A sequence hit does not establish infringement, and a no-hit or low-hit result does not establish clearance.
IBSP is a reviewed human protein asset represented by UniProt entry P21815. The reference sequence contains 317 amino acids and is annotated as Integrin-binding sialoprotein. PatSnap’s patent-scale screen returned 23 matching records in the configured result universe. The leading reviewed hit showed 100.00% query identity across 317/317, with the database claim annotation recorded as Yes.
The resulting screen is classified as elevated diligence priority. That label prioritizes diligence; it does not classify the asset as blocked, available or unique. Whole-protein identity can be driven by endogenous human sequence, conserved domains, common signal peptides or transmembrane regions. Patent relevance depends on whether live claims cover the complete sequence, a fragment, an engineered variant, an antibody recognizing the target, a use, or a functional genus.
Integrin-binding sialoprotein is a traceable secreted or extracellular human protein sequence suitable for systematic similarity screening. For biologics teams, the sequence can matter in several distinct ways: it may be the administered protein, an extracellular target, an antigen used to raise antibodies, a receptor domain incorporated into a fusion, or a reference against which engineered variants are defined. Those possibilities produce different patent questions even when they share the same gene symbol.
This report therefore separates sequence proximity from legal scope. A close patent-sequence match can identify families worth reading, yet naturally occurring human protein sequence is not itself a conclusion about enforceable rights. Conversely, engineered substitutions, truncations, Fc fusions, linkers, glycosylation-site changes, epitope-defined claims or nucleic-acid delivery constructs may be commercially important even when the full-length reference is not reproduced verbatim.
The workflow began with ls_sequence_search_submit against ALLPATENT protein records and used ls_sequence_search_get_results to retrieve the leading evidence. ls_sequence_fetch resolved the selected patent-sequence record, and ls_sequence_alignment performed a PSA comparison to the reviewed UniProt query. Finally, ls_antibody_antigen_search tested target-linked antibody evidence and ls_patent_sequence_fetch retrieved sequences from a resolved patent record where available.
| Evidence step | IBSP result | Interpretive limit |
|---|---|---|
| Reference query | 317 aa; reviewed human UniProt P21815 | Reference protein may differ from a therapeutic construct or isoform. |
| Patent similarity | 23 records; leading identity 100.00%; coverage 317/317 | Records are not deduplicated patent families or live claims. |
| Sequence detail | Sequence 1293491, 317 aa | Sequence annotations require specification-level confirmation. |
| PSA | 1 alignment block(s) | Coordinates do not identify claim scope or biological function. |
| Target evidence | 6 antibody–antigen records | Aliases and research antibodies can affect counts. |
| Patent sequences | 9 associated sequences | Listings can contain controls, fragments and unrelated examples. |
The leading result was evaluated under the primary screen using 70–100% identity and 80–100% query coverage. It reported 317/317 identical positions, query coverage 317/317, subject coverage 317/317, E-value 0 and 0/317 gaps. The database marked the record as Yes for the claim annotation field.
The primary result was obtained inside the predefined strict screening window. That improves reproducibility, but the window still excludes lower-identity functional analogues, short motifs, epitope-only claims, engineered constructs and nucleotide-level variants.
The raw count of 23 records should not be read as the number of independent inventions. One sequence can appear in applications, grants, continuations, divisionals and multiple jurisdictions. It can also recur as a reference, antigen, control or prior-art comparator. Family consolidation by earliest priority, applicant, simple family and legal status is therefore essential before ranking competitive risk.
ls_sequence_fetch resolved sequence number 1293491 with a length of 317 aa, annotated “Integrin-binding sialoprotein patent-sequence record”. The fetched record was then supplied to ls_sequence_alignment for pairwise comparison with the reviewed IBSP sequence.
The PSA returned 1 alignment block(s). The first block covered query positions 1–317 and subject positions 1–317, with 317 identical residues and 0 gaps. Reviewers should map mismatches to extracellular domains, binding interfaces, cleavage sites, transmembrane regions and engineered junctions. A concentrated change at a functional interface can matter more than a similar number of substitutions distributed across a nonfunctional region.
The exact IBSP target query returned 6 antibody–antigen record(s). The leading evidence was linked to US10947301B2, “Method of treating extracellular tissue and vascular calcification and arteriosclerosis” and annotated for Homo sapiens. Heavy- and light-chain sequence lengths in that record were 460 and 240 amino acids, respectively.
ls_patent_sequence_fetch returned 9 associated sequence(s) from the leading resolved patent record. The first returned items should be checked against their SEQ ID numbers and their role in the specification because patent listings can mix antibodies, antigens, controls, fragments, primers and manufacturing elements.
Target-level evidence complements sequence similarity because biologics patents often define inventions through binding, epitope, function, disease use or combinations rather than an exact full-length target sequence. The strongest review links the returned sequence to a patent family, verifies the role of the sequence in the specification, and then reads live claims in the jurisdictions relevant to development or commercialization.
| Dimension | Screening signal | Required next check |
|---|---|---|
| Sequence proximity | 100.00% leading query identity | Map differences by domain, isoform and engineered construct. |
| Coverage | 317/317 | Determine whether the match is full-length, fragmentary or domain-specific. |
| Claim annotation | Yes | Verify the sequence number against live independent and dependent claims. |
| Target evidence | 6 records | Search gene, protein-name, alias and pathway terminology. |
| Legal conclusion | Not determined | Review priority, ownership, licensing, prosecution, validity and territory. |
IBSP produced a traceable sequence-search result with 100.00% leading identity, 317/317 query coverage, 1 PSA block(s), 6 target-linked antibody records and 9 directly fetched patent sequences. Together, these signals support elevated diligence priority and a prioritized family-and-claim review. They do not support a binary clearance or infringement statement.
Reference sequence metadata: reviewed human UniProt entry P21815. Patent-scale similarity, sequence detail, PSA, patent-sequence and antibody–antigen evidence was retrieved through PatSnap Biology Modality MCP on 18 August 2026. Results are bounded by the configured query, thresholds, aliases, task limits and database coverage; rerun at the decision date.
