*Synthetic Biology The Perfect Storm for Patent Law?
Monday, March 12, 2007, 6:00 p.m.
*Cardozo's Intellectual Property Law Program welcomes James
Boyle, William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law at Duke University,
as this year's annual distinguished lecturer. The talk will be
held in the Moot Court Room followed by a reception in the lobby.
RSVP: ipprogram@yu.edu
The two defining technologies of the last 30 years are
biotechnology and the networked computer. In both areas, there
has been criticism of the way that intellectual property
policy, specifically patent law, has adapted. Critics have
charged that the recent business method and software patent
decisions have eroded patent law's traditional insistence on
leaving algorithms and ideas in the public domain. In the
world of biotechnology, expansive gene patents and low standards
of obviousness have also been the subject of extensive critique.
In this talk, Professor Boyle will discuss the relevance of those
criticisms to an emerging field, synthetic biology, which has
elements of both software and genetic engineering. Will this be
the place in which the critics are proven wrong, or the perfect
storm for patent law, combining the worst of its tendencies in
both software and biotechnology?
