Organic Baby Products We are surprised that Third Wave would file this lawsuit before discussing with us the differences in the two companies' technologies, Joseph Sorge, the company's chief executive, said in the statement. Stratagene's patents in this area are very clear. Stratagene does not include overlapping DNA molecules in its kits.
