dc.description.abstract	On October 18, the European Court of Justice ruled in the case Oliver Brustle v Greenpeace eV. that, under European law, a patent cannot be issued for any technical process that involves the prior destruction of the human embryo. This much anticipated judgement is a triumph of ethical standards over commercial interest. Many welcomed this landmark decision as an important step forward in the legal recognition of the dignity of the human embryo from its first moment of fertilisation. It settled a thorny legal battle by ruling that research involving the destruction of embryos cannot be patented.	en_GB
