Flyasif,

Great post.

Since NNVC does not work with genes this would not affect NNVC and could propel
Nnvc even more.

--a ruling that threw out parts of two gene patents and called into question thousands more.--

Humans can't be patented - that was the situation back in my day. Then there was gene patents - I have seen some which were inches thick, all because of the DNA codes contained in them.

--Although patents are not granted on things found in nature, the DNA being patented had long been considered a chemical that was isolated from, and different from, what was found in nature.

But Judge Sweet ruled that the distinguishing feature of DNA is its information content, its conveyance of the genetic code. And in that regard, he wrote, the isolated DNA “is not markedly different from native DNA as it exists in nature.”--
