In 2010, a U.S. District Judge ruled to invalidate Myriad Genetics' patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Judge Sweet noted that since the genes are part of the natural world, they are not patentable. Myriad Genetics also holds patents on the development of a direct-to-consumer test for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. J. Craig Venter has filed a patent application for his 'first-ever human-made life form.' This patent is designed to cover the genome of M. genitalium. Would your ruling for Venter's 'organism' be different from the judge's ruling on patenting of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes?

Hello everyone here. We have a question asking us what is the significance of J. Craig venter's patent application and the significance of J. Craig venter's patent application is it is a controversial topic. This is a hotly debated subject. Questions regarding the implications and outcomes of altering life at the genetic level are brought up by the development of synthetic creatures on an ethical, legal and scientific A level. So our answer is seat. It is a controversial topic. Thank you for watching. Bye.
