41. Unfortunately, this country allows for labs to patent genetic sequences
Edited on Fri Jun-29-07 04:04 PM by TechBear_Seattle
Thus, the enzyme is legally protected. Any efforts towards "unlicensed reproduction" will result in very stiff legal penalties and very likely jail time. Anyone who is able to independently replicate the work will have to prove that it is, in fact, an independent replication as opposed to theft of copyright material, which will be extremely difficult to prove. (Prove that none of the dozens of people in your lab team looked at, referenced, was told about by a third party or otherwise came in contact with the documents obtainable from the U.S. Patent Office.)
