Who Owns You?: December 2014
http://whoownsyou-drkoepsell.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Last year, following their loss in the Supreme Court, Myriad sought to block competition in a last ditch effort by suing Ambry and others who would offer BRCA testing. They lost a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would have prevented their competitors from offering tests while the suit was pending, then they appealed that to the CAFC, who today rejected their claims on appeal. This fight is done. Links to this post.

Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Saturday, December 22, 2012. From "Frivolous" to the Supreme Court. A few years ago I got lucky, in a way. In 2006 I worked as a fellow at the Yale Center for Bioethics and wrote what came to be published as Who Owns You? The Corporate Gold Rush to Patent Your Genes. A few months after it was released, the ACLU helped spearhead a lawsuit. A heady charge for attorneys who can be sanctioned personally for taking part in cases that have no merit. I was call...

http://whoownsyou-drkoepsell.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. I decided while we wait for things to happen in the Myriad. Appeal to post the selection below, a Foreword I wrote for the upcoming book A Question Mark Above the Sun. A Question of Authorship? Does it ultimately matter? And to what extent are authors really responsible. For a text, or owed some duty of attribution? Finally, are “errors” of attribution harmful? To be the case. Even assuming a largely mythical Homer did exist, “...

He posts this particular tirade using as his excuse a patent described thusly -" U.S. Patent No. 8,399,645. 8212; was issued to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Won't likely affect this patent, he concludes this section with "if the Supreme Court says that human genes are not patentable then what is to stop ...

Who Owns You?: Thank you (Again) Brian Leiter

Occasional musings on Gene Patents and IP law. Friday, May 15, 2015. Thank you (Again) Brian Leiter. There's a JD/PhD working at University of Chicago Law School named Brian Leiter. He specializes in philosophy of law and Nietzsche, and for a while was a sort of gatekeeper for the Philosophy field due to his ratings of. Philosophy departments. While his importance in that role has recently declined. He also has a long history of internet. Belligerence and public dustups. As I merely tried to correct some...
