U.S. Denies Patent on Part-Human Hybrid

Posted by Zonk on from the teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-and-other-strangeness dept.

jimkski wrote to mention a Boston Globe story involving the refusal of a patent claim on a genetically engineered creature. From the article: "A New York scientist's seven-year effort to win a patent on a laboratory-conceived creature that is part human and part animal ended in failure Friday, closing a historic and somewhat ghoulish chapter in U.S. intellectual property law."
