Don't think that! (Really, don't)
In 2006, the Supreme Court was scheduled to consider the following patent law question: "Is it permissible to patent a correlational relationship in a medical test result, such that a doctor necessarily infringes on the patent simply by thinking about the relationship after looking at the test result?"The case ended up being dismissed, but wow, such weighty issues these guys face! Gives one shivvers. Brrrr!
