The predictions of "doom" may be overstated, but I never thought I would have seen the Supreme Court rule a claim as not being eligible under 101 for being obvious, which is really what this cases says. What does "conventional activity" mean? Aren't most polymorphisms and other genetic characteristics identified with "conventional activity."

That costs money, money that has to be returned to the investor. If you can't protect the investment then you won't invest at all. Eventually these correlations may be discovered but won't it take longer...is that better for society?

If they were true, humanity could not have reached the point where we could be raising them on blogs. Now, let's take a deep breath and focus on doing some real innovation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
