Evidence and anecdotes: an analysis of human gene patenting controversies.
- Authors
Caulfield, Timothy; Cook-Deegan, Robert M.; Kieff, F. Scott; Walsh, John P.
- Abstract
The article discusses the gene patenting controversies which drew numerous scrutinies from the academic and policy literature. The author inferred that a large number of gene patents and their rightful owners will make it hard to assume the rights to all important research inputs that may result in the underuse of valuable technologies. Thus, the author believed that a strengthened research exemption may address the restricted access problems due to patents, particularly in diagnostic testing.
