- Abstract
The article offers news briefs on court rulings on patents. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that 'machine or transformation' test used to determine what is a patentable process cannot be the sole assessment which is used to determine what is patentable. The European Court of Justice has ruled that a gene patent will be valid if DNA sequence should perform the function for which it was patented. A U.S. district court has upheld the patent of AstraZeneca PLC's statin Crestor.
