| Tóm tắt: | This volume addresses the intersection of agricultural biotechnology with intellectual
property rights (IPRs) from a number of diverse perspectives. Since agriculture
in its current phase is closely integrated with other sectors of the economy,
professionals such as molecular chemists, computer scientists, commercial artists
and psychologists are now collaborators in agricultural value chains. Therefore,
examining the role of IPRs in agriculture not only illustrates how technology
markets and social policies are tightly linked, but also indicates why IPRs are at
the centre of many emerging social priorities around the world.
Recent advances in genetically engineered seed varieties provide a clear
example. Life science companies are the driving force behind the development of
new plant varieties, as well as the providers of unprecedented levels of funding
to public research universities. Six major parent companies control much of the
US seed industry. They have not only revolutionized farming and increased farm
yields, but have also raised a host of questions concerning food safety, university
research funding, market share, research and development (R&D) incentives,
property rights, the eligibility of living organisms for patent protection, international
property rights, trade secrets, piracy, the exploitation of developing countries
and environmental safety. |
