There's a lot on this page about the patent situation, but nothing about what makes the mouse more sensitive to cancer. Is there some cancer-regulating process that's been turned off? Some cancer-causing mecahanism that's been turned on, or enhanced? If anybody knows, I'd be really interested to find out. -- HughCharlesParker ( talk - contribs) 11:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC) reply

The current article is quite ok in my opinion. Could someone add a table to list which patents may have applied, and when they expired? The article already mentions this information, but I think a simple table as overview would be really nice, for those visitors (like me) who'd like to know more about the patent-situation here (not solely due to the oncomouse alone, but also related patents; so I consider this situation to be informative compared to others; evidently at this point the oncomouse is fairly "old"). 2A02:8388:1641:8380:5ADD:1B56:582A:D92E ( talk) 21:41, 3 July 2020 (UTC) reply
