MYRIAD IS OUT --> Is DNA Patentable?
Posted: August 16, 2012 | last revised: August 16, 2012
No long entry here, I'll just give you the Feds' own summary so you can read the whole thing later, at your leisure (I added formatting to parse out the parts):
On the merits, we reverse the district court’s decision that Myriad’s composition claims to “isolated” DNA molecules cover patent-ineligible products of nature under §101 because each of the claimed molecules represents a nonnaturally occurring composition of matter.
We also reverse the district court’s decision that Myriad’s method claim to screening potential cancer therapeutics via changes in cell growth rates of transformed cells is directed to a patent-ineligible scientific principle.
We affirm the court’s decision, however, that Myriad’s method claims directed to “comparing” or “analyzing” DNA sequences are patent ineligible; such claims include no transformative steps and cover only patent-ineligible abstract, mental steps.
