These shouldn't hold up. Wouldn't the prior work of thousands of generations of mothers invalidate such a patent.

"Excuse me madam but do you have a license to use those tits? No? Didn't think so. The content of those bazongas is Nestle property. I'm afraid I'm going to have to clamp those nipples until such time as the proper Bandonkadonk subscriptions are paid"

Have you considered a career in avian taxonomy?

Who doesn't like the dickcissel or the tufted tit-mouse?

As long as the tits aren't used for commercial purposes you don't need a license. Anyway, I doubt that in Europe you could patent any naturally occuring molecules in any kind of milk.

You can patent pretty much anything in Europe.

However, enforcing those patents is a completely different affair.

Maybe some countries' patent offices don't take their job serious, but in general there are loads of things you can patent. For example basically anything naturally occuring is not generally patentable, but you can patent methods for synthesising or extracting naturally occuring things.
