FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY 5 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 318 John Marshall Review of Intellectual Property Law Spring, 2006 *318 专利改革的生物技术规定BIOTECHNOLOGYS PRESCRIPTION FOR PATENT REFORM Christopher M. Holman [FNa1] Copyright ? 2006 The John Marshall Law School, Christopher M.

[FN9] In this paper, I will consider the potential impact of various aspects of patent reform from the perspective of this important sector of the economy. *319 I. BACKGROUND ON H.R. 2795 The recent round of patent reform legislation was driven in large part by a widely held
