In December 3304, Professor Rook debuted an innovative new form of [[nanomedicine]] that was substantially more advanced than any other brand on the market. It was later revealed that Vitadyne's nanomeds were derived from advanced nanomeds created by Simguru [[Pranav Antal]]'s Utopia commune for their exclusive use, leading to a legal dispute. The [[Interstellar Health Organisation]] eventually ruled in favor of Vitadyne Labs and approved their nanomeds for sale. | ||

*The Interstellar Health Organisation (IHO) has approved Vitadyne Labs's nanomedicines as a legal medical product. A spokesperson for the IHO said: "We accept that this product is based on nanomedicines developed by Utopia, as asserted by Simguru Pranav Antal. But our ruling is that because they were obtained as lawful salvage, the nanomeds recreated by Vitadyne Labs are its intellectual property. All restrictions have been lifted, with the caveat that distribution must be handled by an established pharmaceutical company. This will ensure that strict healthcare protocols can be applied at every stage." Professor Katrien Rook told the media she was happy to comply with the Interstellar Health Organisation's conditions.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c4087d1106c067b91145cfb GalNet: Vitadyne Nanomedicines Gain Legal Approval]</ref> | |||

*Professor Katrien Rook has responded to Pranav Antal's claim that her company's nanomedicines are of Utopian origin: "I confess that Vitadyne Labs did not invent the nanomeds, but neither did we steal them. We were approached by independent pilots who discovered a crashed Utopian transport ship. The recovered cargo canisters were clearly medical in nature, so the foragers sold them to us as legitimate salvage. I would be happy to return the original cargo to Utopia with our apologies. The new nanomeds that we have created are our property, however, and I insist that we be allowed to continue their manufacture." Pranav Antal swiftly issued a reply: "Any derivative nanomedicines must also be returned to us, and production must cease. Our technology cannot be used outside Utopia." The Interstellar Health Organisation has said that it will review the case and make a decision.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c2a001986a66548a766dc9b GalNet: Vitadyne Admits Nanomeds of Utopian Origin]</ref> | *Professor Katrien Rook has responded to Pranav Antal's claim that her company's nanomedicines are of Utopian origin: "I confess that Vitadyne Labs did not invent the nanomeds, but neither did we steal them.
