In 2006, the Supreme Court was scheduled to consider the following patent law question: “Is
it permissible to patent a correlational relationship in a medical test
result, such that a doctor necessarily infringes on the patent simply
by thinking about the relationship after looking at the test result?”
The case ended up being dismissed, but wow, such weighty issues these guys face! Gives one shivvers. Brrrr!
