I`m working in a biotech company and when i use this hok/sok system it
have to be patent free. somebody have informations 
More about my plasmid: Its a high copy plasmid with an kanamycin
cassette, but in an industrial process you cannot use antibiotics, and
this plasmid is to express proteins (whatelse) but the thing is that
plasmdi free cells overgrow cells with plasmids. So the process is
shit, but i have to show at the end of the fermentation that most of
the cells still have the plasmid!!! I hope somebody have an idea
