Who Owns You?: December 2014
http://whoownsyou-drkoepsell.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Last year, following their loss in the Supreme Court, Myriad sought to block competition in a last ditch effort by suing Ambry and others who would offer BRCA testing. They lost a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would have prevented their competitors from offering tests while the suit was pending, then they appealed that to the CAFC, who today rejected their claims on appeal. This fight is done. Links to this post.

Even assuming a largely mythical Homer did exist, “...

Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. ACLU petitions for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. As predicted, the plaintiffs have petitioned. The Supreme Court to review the CAFC decision reported here. The grounds for the petition include the failure of the CAFC to properly apply the decision in Mayo. To the facts of the Myriad. It would be highly surprising if they don't decide to take this up next term. Expect more posturing. Links to this post. Why civil society...

Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Myriad's Ways - in SCOTUS's sights. The Supreme Court has been collecting amicus. One brief, by the Cancer Council of Australia. Case we have discussed here, which involved patentability of laws of nature. The Myriad. Appeal will give the Supreme Court a chance to make clear their position on products. Of nature as well. My friends at Patent Docs have collected links to all the briefs here. Links to this post.
