The US Supreme Court announced on June 13 that companies could not apply for patents for specific DNA fragments, but this mixed judgment also confirmed the rights of the biotech industry to synthesize genetic products in the $83 billion industry. . The judges ruled that synthetic DNA – a modified piece of genetic material in the laboratory – could be patented because the synthesis involved human involvement. The court's decision invalidated the two human genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) patents that have been registered by the Utah biotechnology company Myriad Genetics. Mutations in these two genes are associated with breast and ovarian cancer, and they are the female star Angelina Jolie who announced last month that she had a positive result after her test and decided to undergo a double mastectomy. Gene mutation. Mark Skolnick, the co-founder of Giant Genetics, was the first scientist to separate and sequence these two genes. In the mid-1990s, he obtained 20 years of patents for these two genes. Huge company produces products for the detection of these two genes. In this case, scientists and civil rights organizations led by the Association for Molecular Pathology challenged the giant company's exclusive rights to the two genes, claiming that “products of nature†could not be patented. But the giant company argues that the two genes belong to the "artificial invention" category because these gene fragments must be separated. The Supreme Court supports the views of scientists. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a unanimous verdict: "The naturally occurring DNA fragment is a product of nature and cannot be patented simply because the fragment is isolated."
