Chapter 22.1, Problem 3COMQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A patent signifies that the information related to the gene is privately owned and allows the holder to have the rights to use patented biological material, commercially. When a living organism is genetically modified and the strain contains genes that do not occur naturally in the original one, it can be patented. Bio-patent is crucial to any new discovery in the field of biology.
