摘要

On June 13, the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that naturally occurring DNA cannot be subject to patent. The landmark decision was the end of a 4-year court battle between the petitioners in the case, the Association for Molecular Pathology and the molecular genetic testing company Myriad Genetics Laboratories, Inc. For the past 17 years, Myriad Genetics was the sole laboratory offering clinical genetic testing for the breast- and ovarian cancer-predisposing BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, having obtained several patents after discovering the location and sequence of these genes. The petitioners argued that genes are a product of nature and thus, patents held by Myriad Genetics on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 sequence were invalid. The Court agreed.
