Organovo Holdings, Inc. (ONVO)

I went through the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine website in hope to find any mention of Organovo or any pictures of them using their printer. I didn't find anything.

But they have done a lots of stuff with various printers and they say "Our scientists have also developed a one-of-a-kind 3-D printer to produce organ and tissue prototypes."

Now in the 10K it says "We believe that the use of our bioprinting platform by major research institutions will increase the understanding of the technological and research value of the platform, ultimately creating future opportunities for intellectual property licensing."

Now, I am not saying that there is any connection between Wake Forest 3D printer or Organovo 3D printer, but it does make me wonder how Organovo will be able to claim ownership of this "intellectual property" if a university does discover something similar.

It is kind of like which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this case it would be which came first: the Organovo 3D printer or the "one-of-a-kind 3-D printer?"

Just some musing....
