Hi Keith ;
Great detective work thanks. Outlawing patents on living organisms need not be
difficult or painful for corporations. Let's say the Patent Office says that 3
years from now, the law will be effective. What would happen?
Well, you could expect a rush of patent applications for life forms as the 3
year deadline comes to a close, as corporations try to get their patents
approved before the window of opportunity closes. After that, no more patent
applications. And since patents expire in 17 or 20 years anyway, all the
previous patents which were granted would expire eventually.
Problem solved. The only obstacle is our resolve to compel CONgress to act.
Best Regards,
Peter G.
