   The August 14, 1992 issue of Science magazine contains three good
articles on the issue of patents and gene sequences.  A while ago the
NIH applied for patents on 2750 partial complementary DNA sequences,
causing great concern in the biotech and patent communities.

   The articles are:  "Genes, Patents and Product Development" by Rebecca
Eisenberg (professor of law at the University of Michigan", "Genome
Research: Fulfilling the Public's Expectations for Knowledge and
COmmercialization" by Reid Adler (director of the office of technology
transfer at the NIH), and "Patents on Random Complementary DNA Fragments"
by Thomas Kiley (attorney and director for biotech companies).

   The articles are well written with lots of legal references.  Well
worth taking a look at.
