Well, UNC-Chapel Hill already filed for the patent for Kinase reuptake inhibitors. How they managed to do this, go figure- so apparently no matter what kinase inhibitor is produced, Chapel Hill will own its patent? I always thought patents have to apply to already existing stuff, not future stuff you think you could theoretically make.
Anyway, the typical med is about 20 years, sometimes more, before it gets out the door. Because they isolated the particular part they want to target, perhaps this could shave some time off it, who knows. But it's always nice to know when the target of a drug is clear.
At the very least, it's not something I'm going to put off filling a script of Klonopin over =) I'm starting Klonopin regularly soon, so I'll have plenty of time to become dependent on that before Kinase drugs come out, if and when.
