The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 30, 2012 granted cert. for only one
warm and fuzzy question:
1. Are human genes patentable?
The chemists among us are left to ponder:
(1) What makes any given chemical compound "human"?
(2) What makes any given chemical compound a "gene"?
(3) How do I prevent my chemical compound from being pejoratively labeled as "human" and a "gene"?
