The analyses focus on the concept of patentable biotechnological inventions, scope of protection, exceptions to patentability. Certain special issues related to human genes as patentable subject matter are alsodiscussed. The last part ofthe article deals with the question ofthe patenting ofgenetically modified plants in present practice of the European Patent Office(Transgenic plant/Novartis II case).
