The Intellectual Property-Regulatory Complex : Overcoming Barriers to Innovation in Agricultural Genomics Hardback
Edited by Emily Marden, R. Nelson Godfrey, Rachael Manion
Hardback
Description
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.
