Human genes can be patented. That issue was settled years ago. Or so many experts thought.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) began issuing patents on human genes in 1982. Since then, the agency has granted 3,000-5,000 such patents, covering more than one-fifth of all human genes. The agency has issued, in addition, 47,000 patents on inventions involving human genetic material.
