Diamond v. Chakrabarty
''Diamond v. Chakrabarty'', 447 U.S. 303 (1980), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with whether genetically modified organisms can be patented.〔
==Background==
Genetic engineer Ananda Mohan Chakrabarty, working for General Electric, had developed a bacterium (derived from the ''Pseudomonas'' genus and now known as ''Pseudomonas putida'') capable of breaking down crude oil, which he proposed to use in treating oil spills. General Electric filed a patent application for the bacterium in the United States listing Chakrabarty as the inventor,〔 but the application was rejected by a patent examiner, because under patent law at that time it was generally understood that living things were not patentable subject matter under Section 101 of Title 35 U.S.C.〔
The Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences agreed with the original decision; however, the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals overturned the case in Chakrabarty's favor, writing that "the fact that micro-organisms are alive is without legal significance for purposes of the patent law." Sidney A. Diamond, Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court case was argued on March 17, 1980 and decided on June 16, 1980. The patent was granted by the USPTO on Mar 31, 1981.〔
