Interesting ruling. Think their logic is flawed, though. If DNA cannot be patented because it is nature, then cDNA should not be either. cDNA is just the DNA version of the mRNA which is also nature.

They can’t patent it, but the Supremes also just ruled last week, including Thomas surprisingly, that the law can swab your DNA and store it right along with your NSA files.

Without reading the decision it looks like they allowed a patent for a process ~ after all, cDNA needs a process. A second process would be x'DNA; another y''DNA, etc.

That's not exactly new law ~ rather like the dispute over the patent on automobiles by George B. Selden. Henry Ford beat him like wet rug.
