| Summary |
"This volume, The Role of Intellectual Property Rights in Agriculture and Allied Sciences, 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 concerned about the development of plant varieties that can increase crop production, withstand dramatic climatic changes, etc. Protecting intellectual property rights in plant varieties and 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. In the past, it was considered that plant genetic resources evolved naturally and were a "common heritage of mankind." Recently, however, the TRIPS (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) agreement under the WTO and Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) have granted sovereign rights on biological resources to member countries, leading to some complex challenges. The information shared in this volume IPR in agriculture will help to bring this important subject into the limelight for scientists, researchers, conservators, students, and farmers. It will help to keep professionals, scientists, researchers, and others abreast of the IPR laws and their proper implementation in agriculture and other related subjects. Topics include: IPR in agriculture and its prospectsprotecting plant breeders rightsfarmers right and privilegespatenting of microbiological and biotechnological inventions"--Provided by publisher |
