| Summary |
"The interface between intellectual property and other fields, such as public health and biotechnology, has raised expectations from both developed and developing countries. At the same time, a variety of issues have arisen from these relationships. Debates over public health, protection of traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions or expressions of folklore, and the control of biological resources and access to genetic resources pose major challenges to the current global system of intellectual property. This book serves not only to contribute to these ongoing debates but also, through analysis and grounded recommendations, to move them closer to resolution in a manner beneficial to all interested parties."--BOOK JACKET |
