Bioproduct patents hold great promise for developing new and impactful medical treatments, but much of their potential depends on the ability of federal patent regulations to foster innovation and progress, both in their regulatory effect and through predictable and consistent application of patent law. Unfortunately, patent law is failing in both respects. Recent studies show that patents do not ultimately foster innovation and progress, especially in the biotechnology sector. Recent Supreme Court decisions, Mayo v. Prometheus and Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad. have also raised uncertainty as to the patent eligibility of stem cells. This uncertainty can ultimately block pathways to market and dampen investor interest in commercialization, slowing the overall development of new technical applications and reducing public benefit.

520 $a Bioproduct patents hold great promise for developing new and impactful medical treatments, but much of their potential depends on the ability of federal patent regulations to foster innovation and progress, both in their regulatory effect and through predictable and consistent application of patent law. Unfortunately, patent law is failing in both respects. Recent studies show that patents do not ultimately foster innovation and progress, especially in the biotechnology sector. Recent Supreme Court decisions, Mayo v. Prometheus and Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad. have also raised uncertainty as to the patent eligibility of stem cells. This uncertainty can ultimately block pathways to market and dampen investor interest in commercialization, slowing the overall development of new technical applications and reducing public benefit.
520 $a The Supreme Court has ruled on patent eligibility of several biopatents, but the future of stem cell patents is yet to be determined. Stem cells hold great promise for medical cures and treatments, and if stem cell research is inhibited, the public will suffer. Therefore, this thesis will explore the patent-eligibility of two types of stem cells: human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells as a basis for the argument that biopatents cannot survive current patent law as a matter of public policy. After explaining how various types of stem cells are isolated and cultured, discussing what subject matter is patent-eligible, and analyzing the legal trend in bioproduct patents, this thesis posits that stem cell patents, like other biopatents, ultimately do more harm to society than the benefits they purport to provide and concludes that patent law needs to be industry specific if stem cell and other bioproduct research are to thrive.
