The perils of gene patents.
I argue here that gene patents, and patented genetic tests based on them, are a very bad idea. First, I discuss whether genes can reasonably be the subject of patents in the first place; I maintain that the answer is no. Second, I explain how gene patents interfere with scientific progress, slowing down the development of new cures and treatments for genetic diseases.
متن کاملGain control through divisive inhibition prevents abrupt transition to chaos in a neural mass model.
Experimental results suggest that there are two distinct mechanisms of inhibition in cortical neuronal networks: subtractive and divisive inhibition. They modulate the input-output function of their target neurons either by increasing the input that is needed to reach maximum output or by reducing the gain and the value of maximum output itself, respectively. However, the role of these mechanis...
متن کاملThe carbon nanotube patent landscape in nanomedicine: an Expert opinion
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary properties that make them promising candidates for a wide variety of potential biomedical applications, including new therapeutics, drug delivery systems and diagnostics. Because of their enormous commercial potential across industries, a classic patent landgrab is underway as competitors are busy locking up broad patents on CNTs. This is creating a ch...
متن کاملMuch ado about gene patents: the role of foreseeability.
Since Gregor Mendel discovered the gene, scientists have sought to unravel the intricacies of life’s blueprint—the genetic code. Today, insights into molecular biology and genetic engineering fuel biotechnology, an industry promising to touch every aspect of human life. Already, biotechnology has enabled major advances in medical therapeutics and diagnostics, and has spawned complex new fields ...

Background and Aim: Patents are used as indicators to assess the growth of science and technology in a given country or area. They are examined to determine the research potentials of research centers, universities, and inventors. This study aims to map the past and current trends in patenting activities with a view to understanding better and tracking the changing nature of science and technol...
