Companies have signed up to Incyte's database on a subscription basis. Incyte supplied the data, so INCY will be due to royalties on compounds discovered using that data regardless of patent issues. In fact, it's my understanding that the subscribers are free to patent genes they identify (as to function, etc), but STILL owe INCY the royalties.

The problem will only come from unethical companies trying to claim they didn't use INCY's data, even if they had it, but there could be a codicle covering that as well (may be subscriber dependent). But, hey, all scientists are ethical, right? <VBG>
