Abstract
This chapter discusses the patenting of the CCR5 gene in Europe. It compares and contrasts the practices of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) with the European Patent Office (EPO) with regard to gene patenting. It also focuses on the anatomy of opposing a European patent and offers an informative glimpse into the world of patent litigation. A contrast between the USPTO and the EPO is informative since it points out that there are alternatives: questions of human value are embedded differently in various legal regimes. The situation in which the US finds itself is not inevitable.
