Animals and plants are living objects, naturally generated, products of nature, not created by people, and cannot be produced by industrial methods, so they do not have creativity and usability in the sense of patent law, so they cannot be granted patent rights. However, animal and plant varieties can be protected by laws other than the patent law. 5. Substances obtained by nuclear transformation. Mainly using nuclear reaction devices such as accelerators and reactors to obtain elements or compounds through nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Because the substances obtained by nuclear transformation are related to national economy, national defense, scientific research and public life, and to national security, they are not suitable for publicity, and most countries do not grant patents to such substances.
