The American public's access to new and effective medicines could be at risk as a result of the US Supreme Court's decisions in the Prometheus and Myriad cases, and the resulting guidance for examiners from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), according to a report presented to the 2014 BIO International Convention in San Diego today (Wednesday).
