- The US patent and trademark office has upheld stem cell patents held by the University of Wisconsin alumni association, or WARF. This means they control the "intellectual property rights" to that sort of research. The association cells vials of embryonic stem cells for $500 for academic research.
- .."The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights and the Public Patent Foundation, which asked the patent office to throw out the patents in 2006, argued that their enforcement slowed U.S. stem cell research and drove some investment overseas."...more, getting sort of wonky when you can "own" things all humans are born with, there

Damn! I read the title wrong as "... Patients Stand" and was really hopeful for a report of the successful use of stem cells to repair spinal cord damage.
