Overview

The problem of patenting of human genes, which was discussed at the Workshop organized by OECD, has becomevery actual due to granted patents that concern testing of genetic disposition for breast cancer. Companies that hadmade large investments into this research clearly support patenting of their discoveries. But such patents can reducegeneral accessibility of genetic testing. Existing laws, and namely the Directive of the European Council unfortunatelyare not unambiguous and allow rather free explanation.

Key words:
DNA diagnostics, genetic testing, patenting, licensing, intellectual property rights.
