The "NOVELTY" is incorporating anywhere from 2-5% of a spider's DNA, into mundane silk, using silkworms...



"In summary, the present study yielded transgenic silkworm
lines that produce composite silk fibers containing stably integrated chimeric silkworm/spider silk proteins that significantly
improve their mechanical properties, despite low incorporation
levels."

This was the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences Monster Silk results, not KBLB's. Beyond the science, significant results are the novelty, and 3rd party confirmation can be thrown in.
