Entremed (ENMD)

[nottadoc2]

Doubts expressed in this article as to patentability of enzyme action MIGHT also be applicable to 2ME2, an endogenous metabolite. I recognize that there are patents for new uses, analogs, etc., but a patent is only profitable if it survives legal challenges. I would hate to see ENMD do all this research, trials etc. and then have a big outfit come in and say thanks for pointing us in the right direction but your patent (which by then might have only a few years left) is no good. Of course there is always China anyway... "Patent ?? what is that ?"
