CobaltBlue..common sense would preclude patenting the naturally occurring genes..but you know..what reigns in govt.
Patenting the utilization of said genes would seem to be allowed.
Perhaps they allowed the patents to encourage the discovery process..which is, after all, quite expensive.
Interesting topic, though.
Say..GERN is holding up fine in this down swing..oh, my, it just started rallying..lucky us.
Best, Savant
