“…For example, computer software cannot be patented in the European Union but patents would apply when the inventor shows that the software package has a 'technical effect', a vaguely defined concept. 54 As a consequence, some software packages, such as the ones used in computer-assisted diagnosis, have been patented in the Union. This may bring about opportunities for bioprinting companies whose software packages, in association with bioprinting devices, may in the future be considered as generators of an innovative 'technical effect'.…”

Biomedical innovation is often rewarded by exclusive proprietary rights such as patents. In the case of gene editing, induced pluripotent stem cells, and three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting (here described as biomodifying technologies), the limitations of the patent system come into stark relief, generating both technical and political doubts. Generally, political and technological limitations are supposed to be solved with so‐called good governance, based on some principles. We focus on three of such governance principles (participation, accountability, and transparency) to show how they have been weakened, instead of strengthened, by the current patent system. We demonstrate that although patent applications are submitted by both public and private players, the latter have imposed a growing dominance in gene editing, induced pluripotent stem cells, and 3D bioprinting, disseminating their aggressive and exclusive strategies. As a consequence, a logic of experimentality tends to prevail where the three fundamental governance principles fail to be enacted.

Sınai Mülkiyet Kanunu (SMK) m. 82/2 ve European Patent Convention (EPC) m. 52/2’ye göre yazılımlar kural olarak patent koruması kapsamı dışındadır. Bunun nedeni, yazılımların kendi başlarına teknik karakter ihtiva etmemeleridir. Buna karşılık, teknik karaktere sahip olan yazılımlar ise tıpkı teknolojinin diğer alanlarınki buluşlar gibi patent korumasının kapsamındadır. O halde yazılımın patent ile korunması için kilit rolü teknik karakter kavramı oluşturmaktadır. Teknik karakter kavramı kanun koyucu tarafından tanımlanmamıştır. Yazılımların doğası gereği teknik araçlarla çalışması, teknik karaktere sahip olup olmadıklarının tespitini diğer buluşlara göre daha karmaşık hale getirmektedir. Yazılımların patentle korunması Türk hukuku için yeni bir meseledir. Bu nedenle, yazılımın hangi durumlarda teknik karaktere sahip kabul edileceğinin SMK m. 82/2’deki düzenleme ile mehaz Avrupa Birliği hukukundaki düzenleme ve uygulamalar göz önünde bulundurularak değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Bu çalışmada SMK ve EPC’nin yazılımlara ilişkin düzenlemeleri, Avrupa Patent Ofisi’nin (European Patent Office – EPO) bu konuda benimsediği yaklaşımlar ve mevcut uygulaması göz önünde bulundurularak yazılımların hangi durumlarda teknik karaktere sahip olduğu incelenmiştir.
