Stockdoc, this is a link to Robert K's post which contains the link to the LLY patent
filing.

messages.clubs.yahoo.com

We are now all aware that it is a filing for a patent, not an issued patent. No clinical trial of Protein C with BPI has been
run but a trial protocol is described. While LLY's filing says Protein C works better
when combined with BPI this is based on the alleged activity of the compounds, not on
anything LLY has done on humans. LLY also indicates that Protein C may have adverse
side effects which would be reduced through the combination. LLY says the same about
BPI. <g> IMO we have classic case of smart company trying to stake out territory. The
filing was done prior to the halt in the P III by DSMB for efficacy.

The filing makes very interesting reading. LLY clearly is not ready to dismiss BPI and
is interested in assuring its participation, IF, BPI eventually is approved for use.
