Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper is consequential on Supplementary Order Paper No 124, which clarifies that patents must not be held over life (which is not a patentable invention), and which includes all organisms, micro-organisms, and their traits. This Supplementary Order Paper removes provisions that relate to patents of, and the management of, patented micro-organisms.
