Gottschalk Case Summary

We cannot obtain a “Yes” or “No” answer on “Will the Supreme Court’s decision affect the amount of research that is conducted to find naturally occurring disease-causing DNA sequences”. It is because the statue is clearly stated that things that are created or invented can be applied to obtain a patent when those things are (1) novel, (2) useful, and (3) nonobvious (Cheeseman, 2015, P.135). Although discovering the disease-causing DNA sequences cannot be patented, the medicine or drug formulation on curing based on the related research can apply for a patent because it is an “invention”.

1. Maalick experienced religious segregation on a few events while at work. The primary occurrence was the point at which he asked for get-away for a religious occasion and his director was hesitant to allow the solicitation as a result of his religious convictions. As indicated by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 managers are required to sensibly suit the religious practices of a representative or planned worker, unless to do as such would make an undue hardship upon the business. Sensible housing may incorporate adaptability in planning, work reassignments, or intentional substitutions. Despite the fact that the supervisor in the long run conceded the get-away demand since he doubted Maalick about it when it would not bring about the organization undue hardship would be viewed as religious separation. After Maalick changed his name he encountered prodding about his religious decisions from his associates and his chief. This made an extremely threatening workplace for Maalick. The misuse that Maalick persevered is viewed as religious segregation and provocation. It is unlawful to disturb somebody on account of their religious convictions. As indicated by the Federal Equal

To rebut petitioner McCleskey's alibi defense at his 1978 Georgia trial for murder and a related crime, the State called Officer Evans, the occupant of the jail cell next to McCleskey's, who testified that McCleskey had admitted and boasted about the killing. On the basis of this and other evidence supporting McCleskey's guilt, the jury convicted him and sentenced him to death. After the State Supreme Court affirmed, he filed an unsuccessful petition for state habeas corpus relief, alleging, inter alia, that his statements to Evans were elicited in a situation created by the State to induce him to make incriminating statements without the assistance of counsel in violation of Massiah v. United States, 377 U.S. 201 . He then filed his first

Eric Shinseki was the Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs at the time that the investigation broke. Afterwards he chose to step down after the discovery was made that the EWL had led to deaths not just a long waiting list for appointments. As the Secretary of the VA, Shineski could at the very least prevent a scandal of such magnitude from happening. This falls on him as a leader primarily because he should have been the coordinator and illustration of what ethical decision making looks like for his entire department. As managers, sometimes we must step out of our office, out of the meetings and go out and see what is and isn’t being done correctly in our facilities. Mr. Shineski chose to resign rather than answer questions from investigators,

The United States Patent and Trademark Office granted the exclusive right to the Knoll brothers to profit from their invention – Photoshop, which Adobe acquired through a licensing deal. While rewarding a person for his invention is good to promote innovation, rule utilitarians would disagree in grating the patent to them because it implicates a social cost that far outweighs the benefits of that one software and the people involved in making it. The inelastic nature of the patent gives tremendous amounts of leverage to Photoshop as it is the undisputed market leader of photo editing programs because it has features that its competitors aren’t allowed to offer due to the patent.

The patenting race takes advantage of the same computer technology that made the sequencing possible. Companies seeking patents have been using automated DNA-sequencing machines to identify genes easily and cheaply. At the time when they file for the patents,

Until the early 1980’s, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant patents for computer software. However, a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1981 forced the Patent and Trademark Office to begin considering software patents. In the case of Diamond v. Diehr, the Supreme Court ruled that an invention related to curing rubber could be patented. Even though the company’s innovation was the use of a computer to control the heating of the rubber, the invention was a new process for rubber molding, and hence patentable.

Therefore, the invention defined in claim 1 does not involve an inventive step when compared to the disclosure of prior art document

Ronald A. Cass, a legal consultant and former vice chairman of the International Trade Commission, commented: “I wouldn’t expect there to be a lot of judgments like this one." - Quote regards to the verdict from the American courts not the Japanese courts in reference to how patent disputes are heard by juries.[21]

Since the doctrine of equivalents is primarily concerned with infringement, the author deems it necessary to discuss the nuances surrounding infringement in some detail at this juncture. Along with the application for patents, a written description of the invention is provided to the authority concerned. Along with the specification, under Section 10, the applicant should also provide the patent office with one or more claims that distinctly describe an invention.
