Prof. Cotter Quoted in STAT Article on Dispute over Ownership of HPV Diagnostic Test

A March 13, 2017 article published in Boston Globe Media's online science publication STAT and titled "US scientists accuse Turkish researcher of spiriting away their idea—and claiming it as her own," quotes Professor Tom Cotter on the question of whether researchers at Boston University, who are pursuing a U.S. patent on technology relating to a human papillomavirus (HPV) diagnostic test, could prevent entities in other countries from manufacturing the invention. Cotter states that “Patent rights are territorial, so a U.S. patent would only be enforceable in the United States."
