Intellectual property is one of the most valuable forms of property
in the modern world. From the perspective of companies producing
knowledge-intensive goods, it encourages technological innovations
for the benefit of humanity. For consumers of technology, it can be
seen as a restriction on access to knowledge that inflates
corporate rents. When genetic material crucial for human life is
isolated from the commons, engineered and turned into private
intellectual property, dissent is likely to emerge. Felipe Filomeno
uses the case of Monsanto in South American soybean agriculture to
theorize about the emergence and change of intellectual property
regimes. Based on official documents, interviews, journalistic
material, and academic literature, the study shows not only the
relations of competition, coercion, and alliances that lie behind
the post-1980 global upward ratchet of intellectual property
protection but also the strategies that have the potential to
reverse it.
