The supreme court rules against a corporation. Somebody must have bounced a check!

Quote:Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that human genes cannot be patented.

But in something of a compromise decision, all nine justices said while the naturally occurring isolated biological material itself is not patentable, a synthetic version of the gene material may be patented.

But of course they had to throw them something of a bone.
