Abstract
This is a Comment on Greg Myers' paper on the writing and rewriting of patent applications by two biological scientists. it draws on data fr om our own study of patenting in UK public sector biosciences. While a greeing with much that Myers says, we place the issues in a wider cont ext of developing relationships between industry and academe. The emer gence of new networks blurs boundaries, and makes apparently separate arenas less distinct.
