Although USPTO allows the actual deposit of a biological material (access to which enables the practice of an invention) to be made at any time before the filing date of the patent application or during the pendency of the application, it is always necessary that the application as filed include a "specific identification" of the biological material.
References in U.S. patent applications as filed to deposits of biological materials should include the following: identification of biological material deposit (or accession) number, if available, date of the deposit, if available, name and address of depository, if available, taxonomic description to the extent available.
