The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) yesterday struck a blow against the human embryonic stem cell patents held by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). In response to a request filed last July by two public interest groups (ScienceNOW, 18 July 2006), the PTO ruled that three WARF patents based on the work of University of Wisconsin, Madison, stem cell researcher James Thomson fail to meet its criteria for non-"obviousness." But the battle isn't over, and WARF has vowed to defend its claims.
