Abstract The Myriad Case concerns the dispute on the Patentability of Human Genome between Association for Molecular Pathology and Myriad Genetics, Inc.The decision of the Supreme Court held, “A naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated, but cDNA is patent eligible because it is not naturally occurring.” The Myriad Case is a milestone of patent protection history in the area of biotechnology.
