I'm happy you like the writing, but I made a decision at the start to restrict this to my personal thoughts. <br /><br />It's easy to create your own blog & I'm happy to help promote quality content via here & TwitterKeith Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765318239070312590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-18372859156622827262016-05-30T11:07:22.822-04:002016-05-30T11:07:22.822-04:00I thought Clive said Q3 2016 for Zumbador.

I agree that it seems way too soon for something so complex (especially since I thought he also said the Zumbador team was just a couple of guys), but I could have sworn that was the date. Either way, it's going to be a very interesting year for nanopores.Brian Naughtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-35384847701762424862016-05-30T07:09:34.992-04:002016-05-30T07:09:34.992-04:00Hi Keith, enjoyed the post but was hoping for some...Hi Keith, enjoyed the post but was hoping for something more on the protein sequencing work being investigated at ONT. On 26/05 you posted a tweet https://twitter.com/OmicsOmicsBlog/status/735882855138611200 . Just wondering whether you have any additional details that were either related during Clive's musings or in any apres-talk stories. Thanks.Stephen Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811684711202455766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-4694118292481215732016-05-30T02:30:35.658-04:002016-05-30T02:30:35.658-04:00I'd say that in regard to R7 IP, Oxford has no...I'd say that in regard to R7 IP, Oxford has not made a statement. That could indicate they are infringing. There are also many ways they could be in a bit of a grey zone. For example, R7 might be in one of the more extreme claims of sequence identity, which Oxford thinks won't survive in court. Or that Oxford thinks they can prove prior art which could undermine the Gundlach patents but isn't a slam dunk. It could also be at this point Oxford is playing poker, in which you never reveal information without your opponent paying for it.<br /><br />I'm no patent lawyer and <a href="http://omicsomics.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/oxfords-riposte-to-illumina-trade-action.html" rel="nofollow">never plan to be one</a>, but if Oxford was found to have been willfully infringing with R7 they'd be liable for treble damages on the infringement -- which is 3X whatever revenue they earned on R7, as well as halting the infringement. If that were the case, then the infringement has now halted, and dragging the case out would put off when damages would need to be paid. That's the bear scenario here.<br /><br />Thank you for the two corrections; the C->D substitution was really stupid; I do know the difference between San Diego and Santa Cruz and which Miten is at. The pores vs. channels distinction is quite important and I need to tighten up my thinking and language there.

It's still exciting, even days later. A few times during your post I noticed a potential confusion between 'pores' and 'sensors', i.e. a MinION flowcell has 512 sensors and 2048 pores. Each sensor has 4 pores, out of which the best are chosen in the Mux scan. Additionally, when talking about the PromethION, this machine has 3000 sensors <i>per flow cell</i>, and 48 flow cells on the entire PromethION, making it far more than MinION. I'm not sure if I understood it correctly, but from what I heard in the live lounge the PromethION flow cell has 6000 pores and 3000 sensors, i.e. a 2:1 ratio.wdecosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782848883148331601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-81647738438535974442016-05-30T00:20:49.945-04:002016-05-30T00:20:49.945-04:00Since the R9 is advertised as "clear IP"...Since the R9 is advertised as "clear IP" are they implicitly acknowledging that R7 was infringing, their previous statements to the contrary notwithstanding?
