Intellectual property (IP) is a key component of the life sciences,
which is becoming one of the most dynamic and innovative fields of
technology today. At the same time, the relationship between IP and
the life sciences is raising new public policy dilemmas. The
Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and the Life Sciences
comprises contributions by leading experts from academia and
industry that confront current debates and controversies at the
intersection of IP and the life sciences through in-depth analyses
of key topics including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and genes,
plant innovations, stem cells, the role of competition law and
access to medicines. The first section of this book highlights the
importance of IP for medicines and pharmaceuticals, discussing
topics including gene patents, and the second section deals with
agricultural sector issues such as plant innovations. The third
section of the book covers areas of research and development in the
life sciences, such as stem cell research, and raises questions
about incorporating ethical considerations into patent law. While
the primary focus of the book is on Europe and the United States,
the fourth section includes country-specific case studies on
Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Kenya, South Africa and
Thailand to provide a truly international perspective. This
Research Handbook is written in an accessible style that will
appeal to intellectual property law scholars, practitioners and
experts in the life sciences who are interested in the legal
implications of IP for the life sciences. Contributors include: J.
