Rule 29 Verdrag inzake de verlening van Europese octrooien (Europees Octrooiverdrag)

BIOTECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS

1 The human body, at the various stages of its formation and development, and the simple discovery of one of its elements, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene, cannot constitute patentable inventions.

2 An element isolated from the human body or otherwise produced by means of a technical process, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene, may constitute a patentable invention, even if the structure of that element is identical to that of a natural element.

3 The industrial application of a sequence or a partial sequence of a gene must be disclosed in the patent application.
