“克隆人”的专利会被推翻吗？

http://edu.sina.com.cn 2000/11/07 11:23 北京青年报

　　BRUSSELS (Reuters)- The European Patent Office will speed up the review of a contro versial patent it granted for aprocedure that might one day enable scientists to clone human beings, the European Commission said Thursday. The Munich-based patent office has been condemned by environmental groups and some governments for granting a patent to Edinburgh University in December for a process that involves the alteration of cells and human embryos.

　　EU Internal Market Commissioner Frits Bolkestein told the European Parliament that the patent office had agreed to accelerate review procedures for the patent on transgenic stemcells."It seems clear to everyone involved that this patent should not have been granted in the form it was," Bolkestein said in a statement.

　　Under normal procedures, opponents of the patent would have to wait nine months before lodging an appeal against it. Bolkestein pledged that the European Commission would fight the decision if the appeal did not progress quickly enough.

　　布鲁塞尔：周四欧委会宣称欧洲专利局将加快对一项有争议的专利的审核工作。该专利局过去批准的这项专利包括能使科学家在某天可以克隆人的步骤。总部设在慕尼黑的专利局因去年12月授予了爱丁堡大学这项专利而受到了环保组织以及一些政府的谴责。该专利涉及改变细胞与人类胚胎的内容。

　　欧盟内部市场专员弗里茨·伯尔克斯坦因告诉欧洲议会，专利局已经同意加快对这项有关转基因干细胞专利的复审程序，“对于相关的每个人来说这似乎很明确，这项专利本不应该以原有的形式被批准。”伯尔克斯坦因在一项声明中说道。

　　在正常程序下，一项专利的反对者应该在起诉之前等九个月。伯尔克斯坦因保证说，如果上诉进展得不够快，欧委会将与授予该专利的决定进行斗争。
