Deposition
of cultures in the restricted collection |
|
The patent application involves the use of a new microorganism,
it is required that this microorganism is deposited at
a recognized and reliable collection. The NBAIM offers
the facility to deposit the patented strains of the microorganisms.
When the NBAIM receives a culture for storage in the restricted
collection, the viability of the culture will be checked
immediately. A completed form is required for each culture
deposited. The official date of the deposit is held to
be the date on which the NBAIM receives the microorganisms
themselves, even though the forms may not have been received.
If the result of the viability test is positive, we will
send you a form ("Receipt in the case of an original
deposit") and a form ("Viability statement").
The NBAIM will take care that the culture will be
stored confidentially.

Safe
deposit of cultures |
|
The NBAIM offers a confidential Safe Deposit service
for those valuable cultures for which patent protection
has not been sought. The cultures will be stored as a
"Safe-Deposit" in the restricted collection of the NBAIM.
For each culture deposited you will receive after the
viability test a "Declaration of Safe Deposit". The NBAIM
will take all care to keep them viable and uncontaminated
for a period of at least one year after the payment of
the annual maintenance fee. The cultures will not appear
in the catalogues and are not available to anyone without
the approval of the depositor. The depositor has the right
to end the deposit at any time and the cultures will be
destroyed on his request. This request must be received
by the MBAIM before the end of the current year. Safe-deposit
can be converted to a patent strain deposit under the
regulations of Goverment of India. |
