Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market for biotechnology products has expanded rapidly in the 1990s and is expected to give impulse to radical changes in agriculture around the world. Investment in research and development (R&D) of new seed varieties has become a key factor for agriculture development. In the last decades, the investment in R&D has switched from state sponsored research to private funding. At the same time, the market has moved towards a strong concentration in a few multinational firms, which now control most of the agricultural biotechnology R&D around the world. One of the most important issues regarding ag-biotechnology is the legal environment in which seeds are going to be produced and traded. A homogeneous legal framework characterizes domestic markets, while in international markets different legislation can distort or change marketing and production incentives. This paper analyzes the legal differences between the United States and Argentina, two of the most important exporters of grains in the world. As we show, the evolution of legislation and regulation in both countries help us understand the challenges of generating homogeneous protection in international markets, as well as the incentives for private sector companies operating under different legal systems. We will highlight the differences in property rights protection, as well as the incentives for producers and traders. The comparative analysis of this paper provides a useful framework to understand the complexities of international regulatory systems, and the challenges that multinational and local seed producers face in developing countries with weak legal/regulatory systems for the protection of intellectual property rights. The implications of not creating and providing significant legal regimes for protecting agricultural biotechnology innovation has significant impact in terms of the allocation of resources devoted to both indigenous research on plant innovation and also on the choices being made by growers acting in response to current weak property regimes.

This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume provides a basic understanding of the different forms of intellectual property rights in agricultural science. It provides an abundance of information on the use of IP laws in agriculture and allied subjects and their proper implementation in real-life practice. The chapter authors discuss different kinds of IP laws and their current status in developed as well as developing countries throughout the world. The protection of biological resources is crucial for food security for future generations. Biological resources are the source of several important genes. Researchers are interested in the development of plant varieties that can increase crop production, withstand dramatic climatic changes, etc. Protecting intellectual property rights in plant varieties and the rights of farmers and others are discussed in this volume. It also looks at new trends and developments in the field involving new IP strategies and the application of IP laws in agriculture and biotechnology and in the management of plant genetic resources.
Download or read book The Intellectual Property Regulatory Complex written by Emily Marden and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in agricultural genomics could help address pressing global issues, such as world hunger, by improving crop yield. However, overlap and conflict in intellectual property and biosafety regimes – known collectively as the “Intellectual Property–Regulatory Complex” – create significant barriers to innovation. In this collection, leading legal, policy, and economics experts analyze the impact of the Complex on agricultural genomics. They reveal how it impacts scientific advancement in ways that are underappreciated when intellectual property and biosafety regimes are examined in isolation. After identifying how the interplay between multiple regimes impedes research, development, and product distribution, they propose solutions that would further the aims of the current intellectual property and biosafety regimes while enabling growth and innovation in agricultural genomics.

Download or read book Agricultural Biotechnology and Intellectual Property written by Jay P. Kesan and published by CABI. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists are becoming progressively more involved in developing methods for increasing agricultural productivity and designing plants with certain qualities. As such, genetic engineering has given plant breeders a means to exercise property rights over different varieties of plants. This has created many implications and given way to much controversy, with most objections being raised against the idea of owning life. With the use of comparative studies, this book discusses the legal, agribusiness and public policy issues that connect intellectual property protection with advancements in agricultural biotechnology.
