摘要 This article discusses the legal and policy issues arising out of gene patents in light of the United States Supreme Court's Myriad decision. There are alternatives to an outright ban on all gene patents. This article proposes recommendations to accommodate the competing interests of patient access to beneficial technologies and gene patenting. In order to balance the competing interests of encouraging innovation while making gene-based medical treatment more accessible, a research exemption from patent infringement and compulsory licensing of a gene patent is suggested by referring to the Taiwan Patent Act. These solutions would ensure scientists and other groups the opportunity to use gene-related patents for the public interest or noncommercial purposes. The research exemption enables research on patented genes without the risk of being held liable for infringement, thereby promoting further advancement in the gene-related industry. The framework of a compulsory license ensures patient access to genetic treatment. These solutions, on the one hand, solve primary concerns surrounding gene patents, and on the other hand, maintain gene patent protection and the incentives needed to promote the progress of gene-related technologies.
