Ideas in ALL

A blog by the ALL Institute: connecting research and real life

  • The primary PatentsinHumans project logo is an icon which is an adaptation of the universal healthcare symbol (a cross) which has been flipped, narrowed and modified in a curved manner to represent a human person. Alongside this, the two interlinked aspects to the body represent patent law and bioethics respectively, and these are drawn in a curved and overlapping manner to denote the core project aim of bridging the current disconnects between bioethics and patent law, in order to reconceptualise patent decision-making in this context in a person centred manner. There are five colours within these two interlinking elements of the main body (described above) and these represent the five-category taxonomy of patentable- technologies related to the human body as devised by Prof McMahon within the project proposal. This five category taxonomy of patentable technologies will be examined throughout the course of the project, and represents patentable technologies i.e. technologies that are in the body; technologies that act on the body; technologies that are integrated in the body; technologies that treat the body and technologies that are akin to the body. To the right of the icon described above is the PatentsInHumans text in Filson Pro Soft font in bold
