An example of a development in biotechnology resulting in legal ramifications is the invention of a new life form called the oncomouse or the Harvard mouse. |
Thirteen years later, the OncoMouse is a prime example of the hazards of mixing science and commerce. |
In December of 2002, the SCC ruled on Harvard University's OncoMouse patent. |
The Oncomouse has tumor-causing genes inserted in its genome so that it can be used for cancer research. |
