<< The PTO has informed Ligand that the overlapping claims are patentable to Ligand and initiated an interference proceeding to determine whether Ligand or Roche is entitled to a patent by having been first to invent the common subject matter. >>

This sure sounds like it is favorable towards LGND, so far. Perhaps, that is why they are full speed ahead. Buts..... On the other hand, they are trying to find out who is entitled to the overlapping patent. How can it be patentable to Ligand, if the PTO is looking into who it is patentable to? I wish the article was written in plain English! <g>

More importantly, they are going to be discussing physician assisted suicide, at the cancer conference this weekend. If the idea passes, and if it doesn't have to be voluntary, I've got four names to suggest to be the first candidates! <g>

Regards, Bob
