DougS - You are making too many assumptions.

DNAP does not have any drugs yet. If they have anything worth stealing at this time it is the genomic IP.

If a pharma has the technical expertise to recognize the 'value' of DNAP's technology then they have the capability to duplicate it given the nature of the patent process.

The instructions for patent disclosure require that the application be written such that a person 'practiced in the art' could duplicate and use the discovery presented in the application.

With the purchase of a machine equivalent to the 'borrowed' Orchid device and a copy of the patent, anyone adept in the art can duplicate the discovery. Potentially, with enough money and duplicity, inconsequential changes could be made to get around the patent itself.

The fact that no one seems to be chomping at their heels might be more indicative of a lack of interest than a lack of capability.

DougS,

Patent battles erupt because one company steals the technology of another company and the latter company goes to court.

DNAP, admittedly, has moved to protect the most vital secrets in their patents.

I doubt any other company could pretend to emulate DNAP, simply because they couldn't, technically.

What is another company going to do, say, with respect to statins, when patients and doctors see that the results they promised didn't pan out. What is it they could've stolen from DNAP?

These large pharmas aren't even close to the science DNAP possesses and Dr Frudakis knows it. That's why he has been so unwilling to enter into negotiations which implies otherwise.

Doug - With all due respect - do you not yet get what's going on here?? Same old krap - posters like frogscheming throw out some off the wall implausible scenario and get worthwhile people like you on a complete and total 'defensive'.

It's the not so subtle fear factor. If it wasn't - then why are 90% of his posts relayed to the rest of us with the constant negative theme as there centerpiece??

Oh yeah - I forgot - it's our best interests that the doomsayers have at heart. Can you feel the love?? LOL
Best of luck to you and thanks for your most informative info.
