    They should have implemented a region code protection scheme, so that their technology is unuseable on earth. Tough luck.

  2. Trade secret. by www.sorehands.com · · Score: 5
    God did not have to register patents on the human genome. It was protected by trade secret.

    Adam was instructed not to access the secrets of the genome on the tree of life, he did and he was punished. People in Babel attempted to build a tower to break into the labratory, the tower was destroyed and the people punished.

    Since it took over 5000 years to for man to access the codes in the genome, access would be deemed as sufficently controlled under the DMCA.

    Since copyrights were for the life of the owner plus 50 years, the automatic protection of copyright for god would be in place. Even new version of the genome is copyrightable as a derivitive work of the earlier version.

    A note for trial strategy, if the case is appealled sufficiently, it ends up being tried before God.
