I would like to send a part sample, but it requires an MTA

Please read the terms of your MTA, as this can vary case by case. While you can still add and document your part on the Registry, iGEM does not abide by any MTA, so we cannot accept part samples that require one.

I would like to send a part sample for a part that is patented

The Registry is open source, we do not take a position on IP on our parts. We don't publish any data on the state of patents and we make no claims about being able to use DNA from the Registry in commercial applications.
