I don't know, did they? Patents and copyrights provide monopoly rights for a relatively short amount of time for the inventors of stuff. I suspect that the Arabs used their science and the Chinese used their gunpowder for a long time before they gave it out to others. Ditto centuries old info from India.

Who is patenting your genes and what are they going to do with them for profit?
