[edit] From stub to article
It would be nice to expand the article and survey how patentable (statutory) subject matter is defined, under at least
- U.S. law
- European patent law
- International agreements (especially TRIPS)
Then perhaps to indicate or link to some of the current flashpoints, for example: naturally occurring biological material; genetic material; "traditional knowledge"; programs for computers; etc...
