"If they're able to keep their data confidential then a competitor would have to duplicate their biological analyses."

If they rely on keeping the data confidential, they would not file a patent application that discloses it. Coca Cola is probably the best known example of a successful process successfully kept secret, rather than protected by patent.

Gotta worry about Decode, in addition to MYGN.
