This book addresses Synthetic Biology (SynBio), a new and promising
biotechnology that has attracted much interest from both a
scientific and a policy perspective. Yet, questions concerning the
patentability of SynBio inventions have not been examined in detail
so far; as a result, it remains unclear whether these inventions
are patentable on the basis of current norms and case law. The book
addresses this question, focusing especially on the subject
matter's eligibility and moral criteria. It provides an overview of
the legislation and decisions applicable to SynBio patents and
examines this new technology in view of the ongoing debate over the
patentability of biotechnologies in general. The legal analysis is
complemented by the practical examination of several patent
applications submitted to the European and US patent offices (EPO
and USPTO), and by an assessment of the patent issues that are
likely to be raised by future SynBio developments.
