The Problem of Gene Patents
Publication Title
Washington University Global Studies Law Review
Abstract
This Article submits that the main problem with gene patents is the failure to meet the condition of alternativeness of inventions-a condition that embodies a core function of the patent system. As a result, gene patents conflict with the very rationale of the patent system.
