In vitro meat is also discussed in Haldane's Possible Worlds and Other Essays (1927), Winston Churchill's Fifty Years Hence (1932), and Pohl/Kornbluth's The Space Merchants (1953).
There are two in vitro meat patents that I'm aware of and I don't think they are slowing progress. I think research is limited more by the funding horizons of investors.
The main barrier to cost-effective in vitro meat -- the lack of cheap culture media -- seems amenable to open source solutions and wouldn't seem to be hindered by existing IP.
