Re: [DIYbio] Re: Ethics of Guerrilla planting Transgenic plants

My understanding is that the SCOTUS verdict is regarded as not really applying outside human genes (yet), but that's just a vibe I'm getting. Other gene patents are certainly less sure now, but I think more SCOTUS cases are needed to reverse decades of patenting works of nature.

Is that patent valid despite US supreme court ruling?

That's a great point!  Probably yes though, because it is heterologous expression? But the protein is wild-type ads is the DNA - so it can't be patented. Legal experts here?
