SCOTUS To Hear Patentable Thought Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-out-of-my-head dept.

skayell writes "The Supreme Court of the United States will hear a landmark patent case involving whether or not thoughts and relationships are patentable. Michael Crichton's essay in the New York Times attempts a thoughtful summary of Metabolite's primary assertion: they not only own the connection between homocysteine levels in the blood and vitamin B12 deficiency, but also any thought connecting the two."

  1. Free Market ??? by eyeb1 · · Score: 0, Troll

    it's all about keeping politicians judges and lawyer .. with accountants and doctors thrown in for good measure .. feed .. wealthy .. and in control of our lives ..

    patents have no place in a "free market" .. except to protect and fulfill the above reality .. and the interests of the few(patent holders) versus the many ..

    the absurdity of it all .. is just the inevitable outcome of limited dictatorships(party politics) and the rule of law .. as a means of organizing and controlling society .. they look and sound good .. but don't work .. neither of which has anything to do with natural persons being in control of their own lives ..

    ever notice how all most all politicians(law makers) are either lawyers .. doctors .. or accountants .. and that judges are all lawyers appointed by politicians to interpret the laws they make???

    the real joke is that the vast majority of all these blood sucking top feeders and their enforcers(the police) .. have sworn oaths of office on a book that expressly forbids the swearing of oaths .. by arguably the most important figure in the book "Jesus Christ" .. and the book is the "bible" ..

    "Matthew 5:33-37 33 " Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 "nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 "Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one."

    note: there are only two original definitions for the word Satan .. the adversary and the prosecuting attorney(lawyer) .. whom christ condemned for having taken the "KEY" of knowledge(of good and evil) .. and the fact that for hundreds of years the court has required that people swear and oath on the bible to validate their testimony ..

    they obviously have not read the "book" or did they?? ..

    if you really want to begin to understand it all .. a good place to start is studying the work of John Taylor Gatto re: public education(legislated mass brainwashing) and Stanley Milgram re: obedience (especially after public education)

    welcome to 1984 .. the NWO .. and the end times .. it creeps in one day and one law at a time ..

    Revelation 17:15,17 15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 17 "For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
