Because they made it? Its not like they discovered it. They literally designed and created it, like any other product. Crafty Jews stealing their processes to make their product without putting the immense effort into conceptualising, researching and executing the creation of a new organism should be illegal.

There should be no such thing as intellectual property.
It is a huge mistake that does not really spur innovation anymore , in fact it more often squelches it.

How exactly?

Langdon's original goal was to develop a seaweed that could be used as a "super-food" to feed farmed abalone. The resulting dulce strain grows faster than its wild counterpart, and is said to be very high in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, containing up to 16 percent protein by dry weight. Abalone did well on a diet of it, growing at rates "that exceeded those previously reported in the literature."

The idea of exploring its use as human fodder came about when Chuck Toombs from OSU's College of Business was looking for business projects for his students, since the new dulce strain can be farmed. "Culinary research chef" Jason Ball got involved at that point and after some experimentation, the seaweed's unique bacon-like taste was discovered.

Langdon is currently able to grow 20-30 lb (9-14 kg) of dulce per week in his two tanks, but is planning on upping that amount to 100 lb (45 kg). Toomb's students, meanwhile, are preparing a marketing plan for the seaweed, and examining its commercial feasibility as a large-scale aquaculture crop.

because if someone else wants to look into further development of that strand, they can't. It's not available without paying out the ass for patents.

it depends how broad their patent is but it's like saying you're not allowed to sell objects that are glued together because of the patent on glue

It's absolutely not. It's the equivalent of inventing a completely new adhesive and then patenting it. They haven't patented seaweed altogether, they've just patented a specific strain of seaweed that they bred themselves, previously did not exist and would not exist had they not bred it.

IP laws as they stand are retarded, but Intellectual property does serve a purpose.
We just need to short the patents to 5-10 years MAXIMIMUM, with a 1.5-2.5 year standard.

[Anonymous No.6692338]

But you see how the laws are capricious right?
Especially copywright laws.
Now that music is easily shared those laws need to change. You can just decide that vast numbers of people are criminals for file sharing. If its that easily shared it should not be copyrightable . Its too large a burden on the government to enforce these laws. Would it be the end of rich rock stars?

While the repercussions of patenting parts of the human genome raise a lot of "public good" issues (especially when the same thing would inevitably be discovered by other people within a couple years), agricultural patents for newly created strands seems quite beneficial to me, aside from the way accidental field pollination issues are handled.

Consider the honeycrisp apple, which heralded a new direction of large-cell apples, giving it that juice-exploding crunch. The U of Minnesota has a large agricultural research farm, and patented it like 30 or 40 years ago. They made some bank, and 20 years later it went off patent, so now anyone can grow honeycrisps. They've moved on to new apples ("Sweetango" etc.), and while some of the ancillary issues raise questions (e.g. exclusive marketing rights from research at a publicy-funded university, or giving them unpronounceable generic names with trademarked marketing names so post-patent people only know the trademark), the extensive research program resulting in the new apple breeds seems of great benefit to the public. I'd hold up the honeycrisp and botanical creations as the poster child of what's *good* about patents. 20 year limits is an awesome idea; if only copyrights still expired.

Yeah, the bananapocalypse wiped out the gros michel banana by the 60s, so now all we have is the reportedly vastly inferior cavendish banana. Which is itself poised for banapocalypse 2. In 2060 kids will be eating flavorless yellow dildofruits wondering what grampa anon is going on about.

Where do the minerals come from in the first place? Unless you spend a lot of energy into making a product like that it's not going to be as jam packed full of goodies.

You grow it in a tank, so I'd imagine the minerals are in/added to the water.
