Court rules human genes cannot be patented nationwide
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that naturally occurring human genes cannot be patented, overturning three decades of awards and nullifying Myriad Genetics patents on BRCA1 and BRCA2. It allowed synthetically created DNA (cDNA) to be patented while keeping natural DNA unpatentable. The decision preserves potential avenues for gene patenting via methods but restricts gene itself protection.
