Debates about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) have moved on in
recent years. An initial focus on the legal obligations established
by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on
Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting
physical biological materials have now moved to a far more complex
series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be
implemented and enforced: repatriation of resources, technology
transfer, traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; open
access to information and knowledge, naming conventions, farmers'
rights, new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses and sharing DNA
sequences, and so on. Unfortunately, most of this debate is now
crystallised into apparently intractable discussions such as
implementing the certificates of origin, recognising traditional
knowledge and traditional cultural expression as a form of
intellectual property, and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples. Not
everything in this new marketplace of ABS has been created de novo.
Like most new entrants, ABS has disrupted existing legal and
governance arrangements. This collection of chapters examines what
is new, what has been changed, and what might be changed in
response to the growing acceptance and prevalence of ABS of genetic
resources. Biodiversity, Genetic Resources and Intellectual
Property: Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic
Resources addresses current issues arising from recent developments
in the enduring and topical debates about managing genetic
resources through the ABS regime. The book explores key historical,
doctrinal, and theoretical issues in the field, at the same time
developing new ideas and perspectives around ABS. It shows the
latest state of knowledge and will be of interest to researchers,
academics, policymakers, and students in the fields of intellectual
property, governance, biodiversity and conservation, sustainable
development, and agriculture.
