If you want to be optimistic, you might look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_Molecular_Patho... and hope that some of them want to get a broad ruling on the patentability of genes.



Myriad's an interesting case. I suspect their lawyers have their work cut out for them given Prometheus v. Mayo (recently decided). I don't see how Myriad's patents can survive Prometheus.


After reading the argument transcripts for the Monsanto case, i'm not optimistic. I'm a supreme court bar member, so my plan was to listen to Myriad in person.
