Before its merger, the Glare group had a surprisingly small number of
patented DNA molecules in its portfolio. This is in contrast to The We
llcome Foundation, which had over 40 patents mainly for the production
of reagents for diagnostic kits and also for gene therapy. It is too
early to determine the merged Company's patent strategy in the area of
genomics and gene analysis.
