[edit] From stub to article

It would be nice to expand the article and survey how patentable (statutory) subject matter is defined, under at least

  1. U.S. law
  2. European patent law
  3. International agreements (especially TRIPS)

Then perhaps to indicate or link to some of the current flashpoints, for example: naturally occurring biological material; genetic material; "traditional knowledge"; programs for computers; etc...
