Re: VETGEN vs DDC

Would be interested to know if anyone has used this company for PRCD tests. Why wouldn't Optigen sue them like they did Ingen?

Re: VETGEN vs DDC

I have used them for the PRCD test for several dogs. I think things have changed since the court decided you cannot patent a gene or something to that effect. Since I am not a lawyer, that stuff goes right over my head, but I am sure that is why PPG can test for PRCD and EIC and other things.

Re: VETGEN vs DDC

Thank you! I have a dog that is cleared by parentage but would like to test her offspring.

Re: VETGEN vs DDC

Actually, there is public information about a couple law suits underway concerning PawPrint tests for EIC and prcd. And, clear understanding of the recent supreme court opinions on DNA patenting do not apply to testing methods.
