All interferences have filings that are either kept confidential or are entirely procedural in nature.  While there is little substantive to discuss, acknowledging them serves the purpose of keeping track of the proceedings; the following papers have been filed in Interference No 106,115 between Senior Party The Broad Institute, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Junior Party the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Vienna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier (collectively, "CVC") over patents and applications that disclose and claim eukaryotic cell-embodiments of CRISPR technology:
