Abstract
Stem cells are versatile cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into different specialized cell types. Their immense potential has led to a surge in research and practical applications medicine. Patentability of the stem cells has been a subject of controversy, with concerns that restrictions on access to crucial technologies could hinder the translation of research into practical medical applications. It is a promising field that's rapidly advancing and has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine. The patentability of stem cells faces several legal challenges, including ethical, moral, and religious concerns, as well as difficulties in obtaining a patent license. Patent protection is crucial for driving innovation and commercial success in regenerative medicine and life sciences. This article examines the patentability restrictions and specific challenges associated with human stem cell patents in Europe and the United States.
