Overview
Intellectual property rights have become a major source of controversy. Corporations are now patenting human genes, plants, and other biological materials. In this book, Martin Khor examines the "biopiracy" phenomenon, its links to the TRIPS Agreement, and its various effects. This book provides a useful summary and analysis of the key aspects in this complex and controversial subject, and just as importantly, it describes the processes and debates now taking place in the WTO and other forums, and gives suggestions on how to move ahead on the various issues.Book Details
