Well, the Wilson/U of Pennsylvania patent number 5,856,152 was filed 10/28/94... I also noted that the work was supported by NIH grant number P30 DK 47757..."The United States government has rights in this invention". How the Genovo/Ariad venture fits into all this is not perfectly clear yet. A lot of interests in bed together, especially when you throw Hoechst in there as well. Four other patents are cited... 5166320 Nov 92 5240846 Aug 93 5252479 Oct 93 5622856 Apr 97--this is an Avigen patent titled High efficiency helper system for AAV vector replication...the other's I have not bothered to download and save yet. I haven't looked at too many patents before now...but I did think it was pretty nifty that sequence data is at the end of the document...bizzare to see four pages of GAATTCGCTAGCATCATCAATAAATATACCT.... Your point about bogging down reading the minutiae is well taken, I'm just skimming to get a sense of things. Thanks for the input. --Mike
