Patented cloning methods

Hello,

I just realized this morning that the two methods we were using for cloning in the Open Insulin project are in fact patented.

Golden gate :EP2580332B1 - System and method of modular cloning - Google Patents

Gibson Assembly : US9593329B2 - Assembly of large nucleic acids - Google Patents

I was wondering if some people already look into it and what it mean if we use these methods to assemble plasmid to express proteins for commercial purposes or if we want to share the plasmid with an openMTA which allow a commercial purpose.

Thank you for your input.

Louise
