In Labcorp, the claims at issue cover a method of correlating a measured amino acid level in a subject with a vitamin B deficiency. The issue considered by the U.S. Supreme Court invokes far-ranging considerations of patentable subject matter. I will review the Court's decision and its likely impact on claim drafting for methods of medical diagnosis.
