But I think

The Supremes recognise their lack of knowledge.

From what I've seen the ruling simply said "cDNA *may* be patentable, we
have insufficient evidence to decide".

So when it comes up, and they have evidence, they will decide.

Cheers,

cDNA

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 15 2013 @ 09:15 PM EDT

I think a cDNA could be patentable if it has been specifically modified versus
the consensus wildtype.

For example, if researchers swapped in/out a few nucleotides, they could in
theory fine-tune the binding to the mRNA. Such fine-tuning could, again in
theory, result in a test so targeted that the testing platform could be
simplified.

At other times, the cDNA could perhaps be customised to bind a combination of
mRNAs.

But certainly:
mRNA -> cDNA is a relatively simple procedure, reduced to practice. They were
teaching us how to do it during my MolBiol BSc back in the later 80's.
