First off, welcome to DIY Bio! I am fairly new to the community, as well. I think I have heard of the idea of gene music before, but I have never actually heard any before. I enjoyed listening to the sample if only for novelty's sake. I know next to nothing of the field of data visualization, but I can definitely see people attempting to file similar patents.

Greetings all, just wanted to do an introduction for netiquettes sake.
I'm a researcher and a reluctant media artist
Also I happened across this story while doing research on data
sonification and thought it was an interesting instance of a patent in
an area already swimming in IP
The story is reported here with a nice twist from Turbulence:
http://turbulence.org/networked_music_review/2007/ 08/02/dna-music-and-patents/
and you can find the patent on http://patft.uspto.gov/, [Hennings;
Mark R. (Kingston, WA), Kettelberger; Denise M. (Minneapolis, MN)
Appl. No.: 10/754,914]
The patent covers...
"music generated by decoding and transcribing genetic information
within a DNA sequence into a music signal having melody and harmony"
I imagine it has since expired and I don't even know how it could be
enforced.
I do research on quantified self and off beat ways of data-viz which
are better figured as data perceptualisation. I just wonder with the
ramping up of data-viz whether we would see similar patents which
would cover "intuitive haptic responses to one's genome sequence"
