patent controversy edit

"After an Ethiopian scientist demonstrated endod's potency to American scientists, they took out a patent, hoping to sell endod as a biological control for the Zebra mussel, a pest in the Great Lakes of the US and Canada[2][3]"

This quote gives an innacurate impression. Aklilu Lemma, the Ethiopian scientist being referred to hear is one of the three people jointly applying for the patent. The original text makes it sound as if Lemma's work is somehow being stolen from him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.238.210.196 (talk) 22:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
