An article published on September 8, headlined 'Nucleonics challenges Benitec-CSIRO RNAI patent' contained errors relating to the timing of the filing of key patents.

It should have stated that a patent application by The Carnegie Institution of Washington and The University of Massachusetts (the Fire-Mello invention) was first filed in the US in December 1997. The Fire-Mello invention has an earlier priority date than the Benitec and CSIRO applications, which were first filed in Australia.

A patent application by Syngenta, directed to a vector for enhancing the inhibition of a selected target gene, was also filed before the Benitec and CSIRO applications.
