| The successful application of biotechnology tools has had and is having dramatic effects in some areas of agriculture. These effects are being felt throughout the world in academic, government and industrial communities. The result is the rapid development of a multi-million dollar industry. This work has been going on for more than two decades though recent advances make it appear as though all the development occurred ‘overnight’.
Recent legal developments, such as the patenting of genetically-engineered organisms, have resulted in the need for scientists to be educated in the implications of intellectual property rights. This book presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form with a minimum of legal jargon.
