Is this concerning the Edinburgh patent, or something different?

"Austin Smith of the University of Edinburgh and Hitoshi Niwa of Osaka University in Japan suspected that Oct-3/4--a transcription factor protein, which regulates gene activity--might be involved. They genetically engineered mouse ESCs to produce different levels of Oct-3/4. Their results showed that a finely tuned amount of the protein locks mouse ESCs into a state where they multiply without becoming specialised .... The team has licensed this technique to the biotech company Stem Cell Sciences in Australia"
