Stanford to license
industry of genetics
United Press International
STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford University has started a landmark
program of licensing the entire genetic engineering industry based on
its broad patent of gene splicing and cloning methods invented by two
professors.
The two professors, Dr. Stanley N. Cohen of Stanford and Dr.
Herbert W. Boyer of the University of California-San Francisco, have
waived their fights to personal royalties from the method, which gave
rise to the field of research known as recombinant DNA.
“Funds generated through this licensing program will help replen
ish the basic research enterprise,” said Stanford President Donald
Kennedy. Stanford’s plan calls for a $10,000 fee to sign up for use of the
non-exclusive license, plus an annual fee of $10,000 per firm.
Reimers said Stanford has been trying to create an agreement
acceptable to industry. Thus far, 50 firms have inquired about the
license, he said.
He said the university had contacted chemical and pharmaceutical
firms including Eli Lilly, Upjohn, DuPont, Monsanto and Smith-
Kline, and the genetic engineering firm Genentech. “So far as I know,
there’s no precedent for this sort of license,” Reimers said.
The basic gene-cloning patent, issued Dec. 2, 1980, involved con
struction and cloning of DNA molecules that combined genes from
different sources.

building on Manhattan’s East
Side, which houses the offices of
the British Consulate General,
the United Kingdom Mission to
the United Nations and the British
Information Services.
Police said he was charged with
criminal trespass, menacing and
harrassing.
Kenneth Walton, deputy assis
tant director of the FBI in New
York, said Jack, a veteran of the
U.S. military, demanded to speak
on a private phone with Thatcher
“about the Irish situation.”
Robert Louden, of the police
Hostage Negotiating Squad said
Jack told him he did this “as a
statement against the death of in
nocent people” in Ireland.
Louden said that Jack claimed
he had participated in the anti-
British demonstrations in front of
the mission.
Walton said Jack was calm
throughout the incident and asked
police to summon his doctor from
the Veteran’s Administration Hos
