(151) In 1984 the Court expanded the holding of Chakrabarty to multicellular organisms when it granted a patent to Harvard University on their genetically engineered "oncomouse" (152) The Patent and Trademark Office acknowledged, "[that] it now considered 'nonnaturally occurring non-human multicellular living organisms, including animals, to be patentable subject matter within the scope' of 35 U.S.C.

There have been " rivalries for power and information," which find expression in the burying of competing theories and therapies, the ignoring of disfavored hypotheses, sharp competition treating research as a race between contenders, and a desire for exclusivity such as when the OncoMouse in 1988 became "the first animal patented in history." Necessarily in so complex an effort, there have been intellectual divides, leading to "interminable institutional scuffles" and "bitterly opposed camps."

The null patent
It is here that a different interaction between the human and the animal occurs in which the boundaries are blurred in distinctly problematic ways that have been explored by Donna Haraway, for example, in her portrayal of Oncomouse. (14) In a more concrete but no less sophisticated way, this revolution of the code, has, nonetheless, also impacted upon our equine protagonist in terms of genetic industrialisation, especially through extra uterine breeding techniques and cloning to ensure the continued 'bloodlines' of highly prized and priced specialists in racing and equestrianism, for example.
