The Intellectual Property and Food Project : From Rewarding Innovation and Creation to Feeding the World, Hardback Book

The Intellectual Property and Food Project : From Rewarding Innovation and Creation to Feeding the World Hardback

Hardback

Description

The relationship between intellectual property and food affects the production and availability of food by regulating dealings in products, processes, innovations, information and data.

With increasingly intricate relations between international and domestic law, as well as practices and conventions, intellectual property and food interact in many different ways.

This volume is a timely consideration and assessment of some of the more contentious and complex issues found in this relationship, such as genetic technology, public research and food security, socio-economic factors and the root cause of poverty and patent-busting.

The contributions are from leading scholars in this emerging field and each chapter foregrounds some of the key developments in the area, exploring historical, doctrinal and theoretical issues in the field while at the same time developing new ideas and perspectives around intellectual property and food. The collection will be a useful resource in leading further discussion and debate about intellectual property law and food.
