Of jellyfish, Schatten, and SCNT

Recent internet chatter about the invasion by giant Nomura jellyfish evokes memories of Gerald Schatten, the one-time collaborator of stem cell fraudster Hwang Woo Suk, whose [Schatten's] earlier claim to fame had been creation of the first monkey to contain DNA from another animal — in this case a jellyfish.

IPBiz had earlier noted Schatten's difficulties with the USPTO on his Hwang-era patent application. Just last month (28 Oct. 09) , Schatten's continuation application ( 12/141,626 ) went down for final rejection on enablement grounds.
