The stem cell lines remain the property of the individual stem cell providers, as listed on the NIH Stem Cell Registry. Researchers may negotiate a material transfer agreement (MTA) with the cell providers in order to specify their rights and responsibilities concerning resulting data, publications, and potential patents. Examples of MTAs negotiated between the Department of Health and Human Services/NIH and various stem cell line providers are listed by provider at http://stemcells.nih.gov/research/registry.
