“Q: What Cannot Be Patented? Can I Patent a Living Thing? A: It depends. If your invention is a product of nature, it falls under excluded subject matter. However, if your invention does not occur naturally and can only exist through some work on your part, you may be able to get a patent. For example:
- You cannot patent a species of mouse that you find running around your laboratory
- You can patent a genetically engineered mouse that you designed for use in cancer research
- You cannot patent a combination of bacteria with beneficial properties if that combination occurs somewhere in nature
- You can patent a species of bacteria that you genetically alter to solve a common problem if that form does not occur naturally Legal Match

- “In 2015, a patent was filed by The Pirbright Institute for the live, attenuated coronavirus. The application claims that the new virus could be used to create a vaccine for treating or preventing respiratory viruses. The patent was awarded in 2018. Now, The Pirbright Institute is funded by the UK Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, the WHO, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. All of these entities have been loud supporters of mandatory vaccinations and more government control based on “health concerns.” Source
