"The Supreme Court's ruling reversed that of the u.s. patent office, which had long held that living things could not be patented. The decision opened the door to the patenting of genes, cell lines, tissues, and organs. Human parts became products. Medicine became a golden business opportunity. These two changes—the Bayh-Dole Act and the ability to patent biological things—put dollar signs in the eyes of college administrators and their faculties. Universities began to see their medical laboratories as profit centers and their professors as entrepreneurs." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

Unfortunately, this product was not on the market when I found out I had cancer. I wish it had been. NCD, also called Cellular Zeolite is a 100% natural liquid supplement. Dr." - Gregory, A.

"On March 7 1876, the u.s. patent office issued a patent on Bell's device that sent intelligible words over a wire by converting sound waves to a varying current of electricity.

"The novel also clearly showed that its writer had not forgotten his idea of creating artificial rain, although they had been rejected by the u.s. patent office. Rejected as they might be, Astor now wrote that, "Rainmaking is another subject removed from the uncertainties, and has become an absolute science."132 Curiously, one finds a similar intellectual occupation in Cromie's novel: By means of a "powerful machine" the Martians are able to "electrically" disturb the atmosphere, thus creating rain conveniently only at night. "I hope, Mr." - Theo Paijmans, Free Energy Pioneer: John Worrell Keely (Get the book.) "One of his dreams was to find a way to create rain by pumping warm air from the surface of the earth into the upper atmosphere, an original idea, but one that the u.s. patent office turned down.24 Complex and furtive as Astor was, he also had a reputation for eccentricity; he started writing his cryptic novel A Journey In Other Worlds in 1892, when he was only 28 years old. The same month that Tesla visited Bloomfield-Moore in Philadelphia, he also met with Astor." - Theo Paijmans, Free Energy Pioneer: John Worrell Keely (Get the book.) "Keely's Globe Motor, although exhibited in operation around 1871, was never patented; what was found during an investigation in 1875 was "on record in Liber L, 18, page 370, of transfer of patents, u.s. patent office, an assignment of this so-called Globe Motor by Mr. Collier to the Keely Motor Company, this assignment bearing date February 15, 1875, and being recorded May 8, 1875." The patent office at that time also had an abstract of "all assignments, agreements, licenses, powers of attorney and other instruments in writing on record in the patent office in the name of John W." - Theo Paijmans, Free Energy Pioneer: John Worrell Keely (Get the book.)

"The roots of current patent coverage date back to 1930 when the u.s. patent office granted limited intellectual property rights to plants propagated through methods that did not involve pollen. In 1970, Congress extended the rights to plants developed through traditional methods of pollination and cross-fertilization. Later, the Supreme Court granted full patent rights to microbes developed through recombinant techniques; the first was patented in 1980. The Patent Office extended full protection to transgenic plants in 1985 and to transgenic animals in 1988." - Marion Nestle, Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (Get the book.)

They had started out occurring about twice a month but had become more frequent during the last four years." - Eric R.
