Did Myriad really claim to own the gene itself as their invention? If so, there are a lot of people who&#x27;d probably like to sue them for infecting them with that invention.<p>It seems to me that all Myriad could possibly patent, is a unique detection method for that gene. But that wouldn&#x27;t stop anyone from using a different detection method.<p>But what interests me more about this case is that the article expects an Australian court decision to be taken as global jurisprudence. What&#x27;s the logic behind that? And is that really where we&#x27;re headed?
