1. Test a variety of different molecules or assay conditions.
2. Quality of research is often more important than quantity.
3. Identify structural features of representative molecules prior to filing.
4. Perform structure-function mapping.
5. Comparative data are helpful, but can often wait.
6. For molecular diagnostics, collect data in addition to diagnostic predictiveness.
7. Helpful experiments for a patent application are not necessarily the most interesting ones from a technical perspective.
8. Maintain laboratory notebooks and records.
9. Notify patent counsel of possible publications (and not just journal articles).
10. Keep patent counsel apprised of post-filing developments.
