Intellectual Property and Genetically Modified Organisms

’This collection offers a range of stimulating, original, and well-researched new work that will prove valuable to students of intellectual property, policy practitioners, and scholars in history and philosophy of science.’ Nicolas Rasmussen, University of New South Wales, Australia ’Patents on GMOs raise various concerns as they vest disproportionate power in a few large corporations. How worried should we be? This enlightening volume covers all the relevant issues in a comprehensive, insightful fashion, going further than any other book towards finding the answers we need as scholars and citizens.’ Graham Dutfield, University of Leeds, UK ’Charnley and Lawson’s timely volume provides not only essential accounts of disputes over intellectual property in GMOs in and out of the courts, but a gathering of historical and contemporary assessments of legislation, regulation, and policy concerning genetically engineered plants, animals, and fish. A goldmine of information and analysis, authoritative in detail while readily accessible in the clarity of its presentations.’ Daniel J. Kevles, Yale University, USA
