More companies and investors are sure to plunge into the expensive business with less fear of having ideas stolen, or at least with an assurance of legal recourse if they are. But others fear that just the opposite will happen: that scientists will be cautious about sharing information, long an essential part of the scientific process. Warns M.I.T.'s Jonathan A. King, a molecular biologist: "Now you have the prospect of keeping a strain [of bacteria...
