[Chakrabarty today: 30 years after the United States Supreme Court Resolution]
1Facultad de Derecho, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Abstract:
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Chakrabarty case marked the beginning of a far reaching process, the development of which considerably extended the field of patentabiltiy of humans, their body parts and genetic information. The author believes that a period of three decades is sufficient to draw conclusions. A critical point has been reached from a debatable decision, which had more economic support than legal, which requires serious recapitulation of the scope and the purpose of industrial property rights.
