(6) We note the comment on page 69229 on disclosure of information and 
possible patent applications and wonder whether this is really feasible. 
In at least some countries even preliminary applications for a patent 
must be accompanied by samples of the strains of micro-organisms to which 
the application relates. 
Yours sincerely.
