Feng Zhang Was Charged for "Cheats" in the CRISPR Patent Battle

The patent right for CRISPR gene editing technology is ready to fire the first shot. Directors of California University (UC) and the Broad Institute (BI) lawyers provided information to show how they explained their ownership eligible for this breakthrough technology and economic benefits. The University of California lawyers also accused the error and fraud behaviors of Broad Institute. If it is true, it will result in invalid patent of Broad in early sentencing litigation.
Due to some studies found by molecular biologist Feng Zhang, many intellectual property rights of CRISPR related simple and precise cutting DNA mechanism were initially awarded to Broad research institute. But University of California declared that its own pending patent applications should obtain patent protection. The patent applications described some experiments completed by a molecular biologist Jennifer Doudna at the University of California, Berkeley, cooperated with a microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier in the German Max Planck infection biology research institute. They submitted an application prior to the Broad Research Institute, but due to using accelerated approval process by Broad Institute, latter was first awarded some important patents.
California University challenged the patents. Interference proceeding was launched in January. On March 3rd, the two sides submitted proposals on the list?requirements on decision of patent rights in all aspects of the debate. Biotechnology patent attorney Kevin Noonan said, it is still needed approve the proposal of judicial committee judge before being formally filed or considered. These documents provided some clues about the tactics of both sides.
The Broad Institute's lawyer said that some requirements of the University of California were invalid, because they did not correctly describe how to use this technology.
Whether the two sides will be allowed to adopt the strategies depends on a conference call with judge on March 10th. In the next few months, these proposals for judgment may declare who is the winner of the early stage, which will promote the lawsuit into the second stage, allowing researchers to provide evidence to confirm who was first to complete the invention.
