CO4: Apply legal concepts to business scenarios.

CO5: Analyze the differences between major forms of intellectual property protection, and current ethical issues that arise under intellectual property law.

Using the Required Readings and your own research:

·         Review the requirements for a patent.

·         Then further discuss: Should a company be allowed to patent a life form?   Does it matter if the life form is a non-sentient organism like a plant?  Is there a place where the law can ethically draw a line between life as property and life as beyond any person or business appropriation? 

·         In considering these questions read:  Assn for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. (2013)
