Part I of this Note covers both a brief and informative scientific overview of DNA, RNA, and cDNA, and a history of gene patents, including the development of a judicial exception to patent ineligibility using the framework provided byMyriad Genetics8and Mayo/Alice.9Part II of this Note discusses four cases considering patent claims of biotechnology products and compares how the courts applied the Myriad Genetics and Mayo/Aliceframework to their facts differently. Lastly, Part IIIsets up a hypothetical patent claim using recent science technology, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), to apply the Myriad Geneticsand Mayo/Aliceframework by referring to the cases in Part II. Additionally, Part III will provide suggestions as to what the USPTO can do to clarify the seemingly inconsistent results of the hypothetical patent claim depending on the jurisdiction.}, recid = {42009}, pages = {36 pages}, }
