The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc., may affect the ability of companies to protect valuable innovations emerging from basic research. The Court, on March 20, 2012, found that Prometheus Laboratories Inc.’s claimed method was unpatentable because it attempted to monopolize a law of nature.
