This book analyses the history of the international patent regime
and the life science industries, both of which can be traced back
to the late 19th century. The development of patent law is
inextricably linked to expanding capacities to elucidate,
manipulate and commercially exploit the molecular properties of
micro-organisms, plants, animals and other organic raw materials.
The story of the life science industries begins with the European
synthetic dyestuff firms and culminates in present-day
conglomerates like Aventis, Novartis and Pharmacia. Throughout the
last century, chemical, pharmaceutical, seed and biotechnology
firms were actively involved in reforming patent law and plant
variety rights. The major beneficiaries have been the largest firms
whose market dominance and influence over peoples' lives - aided by
friendly intellectual property laws - has never been greater. This
sparkling and stimulating book reveals the key repercussions caused
by the expansion of life science industries for issues of
international equity, public health, food security and biological
diversity.
