David Gay was quoted in the Contra Costa Times on February 22 in an article on the ruling by the USPTO against Genentech in the re-examination of its patent that generates an estimated $300 million a year in royalties from companies using the technology to make cancer and rheumatoid arthritis treatments. "An earlier patent on the technology expired last year, and companies paying royalties expected to be able to stop," said Mr. Gay. "That's the idea that's upsetting people, and they are hoping the patent would go away," he said. "Somebody got heated up enough to say, 'I'm going to stop this,' and they filed the re-exam request."
