ABE

ABE. Which stands for Array Based Experiment, means a single experiment involving hybridization of a labeled sample on a Nucleic Acid Array licensed hereunder and that is covered at the time and place of the experiment by one or more valid claims of a patent claim within the Licensed Patents. A "valid claim" shall include a claim that has not been held to be invalid by a final judgement from which no appeal can be taken. If labeled samples (including the same sample) are consecutively hybridized to... a single Nucleic Acid Array, then the number of ABEs is equal to the number of consecutive hybridizations. If two differently labeled samples arc mixed and simultaneously hybridized to a single Nucleic Acid Array, then there has been one ABE. View More
