Maury Ballstein Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 and less than many think. The idea that million dollar athletes need to be entitled to a drug that is illegal (for now) and have special rights to it that every day Americans don't in their workplace is laughable. have another beer.

boyst Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 the nba stopped testing and it's more popular than ever. the NBA is a fraction of the NFL. And the NBA does not have the impacts the NFL does. Also, there is a ton note I could say about how damn awful the NBA is run but that's another thread.

At all. And again, another thread. Go to the PPP thread on the NC House Bill 2 to discuss this correctly. Otherwise, stop because your continued detailing of the premise will make this a PPPtopicand that would be no good.

Silly mods be mod'n all up in here Sounds like you need to be in PPP. Nc house bill 2 has nothing to do with you being dead wrong about the NBA's explosion or the far out statement that the NFL would lose a viewer if players smoked more pot then they already do.

Saint Doug Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) <p> This is not accurate. If the plant was just discovered or if has been genetically modified, it can be patented. Otherwise, no. From the link you provided: As noted in the last paragraph of the statute, the plant patent must also satisfy the general requirements of patentability. The subject matter of the application would be a plant which developed or discovered by applicant, and which has been found stable by asexual reproduction. To be patentable, it would also be required: That the person or persons filing the application are those who actually invented the claimed plant; i.e., discovered or developed and identified or isolated the plant, and asexually reproduced the plant. That the plant has not been sold or released in the United States of America more than one year prior to the date of the application. I think you need to re-read what you quoted more carefully. Genetic modification or being "just discovered" are not requirements (bullet point 2). For example, hops (Humulus lupulus) have been cultivated by humans for thousands of years, but certain varieties are patented. Nor are they genetically modified. And besides, drug companies regularly tweak molecules in the very slightest of ways or alter their carriers in order to gain patent protection. Genetically altering a plant would be no different.

Mr. WEO Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Don't know. Everyone's salaries are through the roof and the new Tv deal is worth 2 billion. Young people love the NBA. Last year the number was put at 10 teams. That's unheard of in the NFL. The NBA owners are stuck writing absolutely awful guaranteed contracts every free agent season. Aren't the Knicks still paying Allen Houston? What's that have to do with its world wide popularity? Nothing, but that's OK, because that's not the topic of this part of the discussion.
