Abstract
Genetic innovations have long been jealously guarded—since well before Thomas Jefferson famously risked his life smuggling rice seed from the Piedmont region of Italy. Since the early 1980s the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patents on inventions involving isolated DNA and RNA molecules with unique functionalities in living systems based on the sequence of nucleotides that make up the molecule, providing perhaps a better option to guard genetic innovations than 18th century Piedmont’s threat of death.
