The Clone Wars: The Growing Debate Over Federal Cloning Legislation, John Garvish Jun 2001

The Clone Wars: The Growing Debate Over Federal Cloning Legislation, John Garvish

Duke Law & Technology Review

As readers of science fiction are well aware, the term "clone" refers to asexually produced offspring, that is, offspring produced by a process of cell-division which does not begin with the union of two sex cells. A clone is the genetic twin of the cell donor. Propagation of plants by this method is, of course, commonplace, but mammalian reproduction in this fashion would indeed be a revolutionary accomplishment, with profound and disturbing implications.


Where The Wild Wind Blows: Genetically Altered Seed And Neighboring Farmers, Jill Sudduth May 2001

Where The Wild Wind Blows: Genetically Altered Seed And Neighboring Farmers, Jill Sudduth

Duke Law & Technology Review

In March 2001, agro-business giant Monsanto won a victory in Canadian Federal Court over Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser. This case sets international precedent for appropriated seed cases and illustrates the primary concerns American courts must face as they consider Monsanto's prosecution of 22 cases against American farmers.


The Fate Of Gene Patents Under The New Utility Guidelines Feb 2001

The Fate Of Gene Patents Under The New Utility Guidelines

Duke Law & Technology Review

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) recently finalized its patent utility guidelines. Promulgated by the PTO, the new guidelines will be used by patent examiners in determining whether a claimed invention should be awarded patent protection ;and will be used by patent applicants and attorneys who file patent applications. The guidelines focus primarily on the utility standards for gene and gene fragment patents, an issue that was featured in the PTO's 1999 Revised Interim Utility Guidelines and has been the subject of considerable public debate.

Patents And Cumulative Innovation, Clarisa Long Jan 2000

Patents And Cumulative Innovation, Clarisa Long

Faculty Scholarship

Proprietary rights to the products of biomedical research have repeatedly been a source of controversy for over twenty years. Patents on biomedical innovations have allowed scientists, academics, and research institutions to raise research funds and have contributed to the growth of the biotechnology industry. But “one firm’s research tool may be another firm’s end product.” Patents have been a source of great concern for academic and basic researchers, who fear that proprietary rights to basic research results will hamper the progress of science, stifle the free flow of new knowledge and the dissemination of research results, and chill the research …

Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige Jun 1996

Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Murashige addresses the need for a patent system more closely tailored to the needs of biotechnology. For example, the obviousness requirement may interfere with using patents to recoup high costs of work when it could arguably be done by researchers of ordinary skill.
