Policy on licensing and use restriction
Committed to advancing biomedical research, The Jackson Laboratory makes every effort to distribute mouse strains and biological materials that are unencumbered by license restrictions. However, some institutions and companies have created genetically-engineered strains, biological materials or have developed patented technology used in the development of mice and biological materials. The Jackson Laboratory asks users to work directly with the institutions or companies to acquire licenses if necessary. Strains that require license agreements or other use restrictions are noted in JAX® Mice Strain data sheets under Terms of Use on a strain by strain and product by product basis.
