I would think that Monsanto's patents are quite different. They use plant breeding to create new varieties. These patents of Myriad Genetics are just using DNA sequencing to find existing genes.
- vesinisa 11y agoI agree with your view that Monsanto is unlikely affected, but the article is quite misleadingly named. With "gene patent" I immediately think of Monsanto. But this ruling seems to only affect those who claim exclusive right to discovering properties of existing genes - not those who create organisms with unique genetic properties, like Monsanto.
