<p>This briefing was presented at the 32nd Annual American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Forum on Science and Technology Policy on May 3-4, 2007 in Washington, D.C. It highlights findings of RAND foresight analysis of global technology trends, drivers, barriers, and social implications through 2020, highlighting, in particular, issues relevant to building science, technology and innovation capacity in developing nations.</p>

Explores the potential effect on future innovation in biotechnology of a patent on a gene, which may cover a wide range of possible technological applications and be of unknown breadth when issued.

<p>In this essay, the authors discuss the issues surrounding patenting products of nature. The central legal problem is how to distinguish a natural substance, for example, naturally occurring DNA, from a patentable invention. The authors suggest that the substantial transformation test (STT) used in customs law might be able to make this distinction.</p>
