You're talking of fingers being patent-eligible and then saying the patent
wouldn't work because we know of fingers previously.
I'm talking fingers
shouldn't (if they actually are) be part of patentability in the first
place!
Prove fingers are not a natural occurance of nature and so should
be patent eligible.

They chemicals claimed by Myriad, the isolate,
were not
known.
Myriad did not discover a chemical. The basic structure
of DNA has been known for more than fifty years and I
studied it about that
long ago. There are only two
characters in the DNA alphabet: adenine-thymine,
cytosine-
guanine.
All Myriad has done is patent a particular combination of
those two characters.
They may have patentable subject matter at their
disposal, but a strand of DNA is not it. It's as if van
Leeuwenhoek had
patented blood cells. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
