متن کاملPatenting of Genetic Inventions
The genetic inventions in the patent system are similar to chemical inventions. Genetic inventions that are patentable include genetic materials such as DNA, RNA, cDNA, EST’s (Expressed Sequence Tags), SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphs) and recombinant vectors. These inventions need to satisfy the criteria of patentability such as novelty, nonobviousness, utility, enablement and sufficiency of...
متن کاملPatenting of human genetic material v. bioethics: revisiting the case of John Moore v. Regents of the University of California.
