| Summary: | This article examins the patenability of genetically engineered higher life forms in Canada and Singapore by reference to the recent decision of the Canadian Supreme Court on the patentability of a genetically engineered laboratory mouse.

This article discusses the reasoning of the Canadian Supreme Court and considers its application in Singapore. |
