are numerus interesting patents.
they can be viewed in .tiff format (graphic)
and can be downloaded in .pdf format for about $3.00US each.

much of the wording in the patents of tissue culture techniques
didn't give details necessary to reproduce results--
though most of those techniques are available
in scientific journals at the library,
not all seems to be disclosed
and we are left with a mystery.

Searching the patent office does help indicate
what is going on in the (very) private sector.
