Good for Business in Wisconsin
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office upheld two of WARF (Wisconsin Alumni Association Foundation)-held stem cell patents this week.
The USPTO rejected claims from consumer groups that the discoveries were OBVIOUS given previous research, and thus not patentable.
The claims arose from two non-profit groups, Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights and the Public Patent Foundation, and argue that the patents hinder research.
Dr. James Thomson's pioneering stem cell discoveries are patentable inventions.
Go Wisconsin!
