2009 Nobel Ribosome Structures — Patented

Posted by timothy on from the would-you-like-to-place-an-order dept.

tabascoj writes 'The announcement of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is the latest reminder that fundamental components of biology are being increasingly, and aggressively, patented. A commentary, from yalepatents.org, focuses on the research and subsequent patents, held by Yale and Thomas Steitz, one of this year's laureates.'

    How in the world do you complain about something like this. I expect the people at slashdot see the patent and are like "Micro$soft suxxx and I want my stuff for free?" then a few guys pass it around and all decided they dun like it. So they shrug "Must be evil" out comes the +5 insightful post!
