The Supreme Court of the US in 1980 granted a patent for a strain of Pseudomonas containing two plasmides after genetic manipulation. This is the first case of patenting a living organism. Whereas the patent law of US and of many other countries further more on supports the principle that natural products are not patentable man-made microorganisms on the other hand fullfil very important crucials of patentability as far as they are new, unobvious, reproducible and useful. The situation arising as the result of this decision is described and the implications and consequenses for the patent law, the taxonomy and the general biological thought are discussed.
