Sangamo Biosciences Inc (SGMO)

I'm eager to learn more about SGMO's patent coverage. My understanding is that it is extensive enough that some researchers in academia feel constrained by it. That said, I actually think that it is a good thing for early stage companies like Sangamo to have a fairly tight grip on new technological protocols because it incentivizes their development and gives them a decided stake in scientific advance.
