Re: copyright DNA

Only tangible works of creative expression are subject to protection of copyright law. In my opinion, unless you are making some sort of artistic use of your DNA patterns or finger prints, I don't believe they are protectable. I'd be interested in what some of the attorneys in this list think. Thanks for your posting.

Best regards,

Todd D. Epp, Esq.
