Yeah. Also, our patent system is so messed up that there are plenty of things with patents on them now which probably wouldnt hold up if they were challenged in court.

If they want to realize profits from their discovery, then they need to invent a drug or treatment that can be patented. Patenting the gene makes no sense. That is like patenting neurons or mitochondria. |

But theres some fierce competition with some of this research and obviously a lot of money involved so I can see a biotech frim trying to gain whatever leverage they can to get their product out there first and keep the patent on it. But ialso agree that they shouldnt be able to patent a gene, unless of course its soemthing mainpulated or engineered by man, then they may have a legit claim. |
