Summary
Intellectual Property and Genetically Modified Organisms: A Convergence in Laws, edited by Charles Lawson and Berris Charnley, is a comprehensive scholarly examination of the complex legal issues surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their intersection with intellectual property (IP) law. Published by Routledge in 2015, this volume brings together leading international scholars to explore the evolving legal landscape of GMOs from a global perspective.
The book moves beyond traditional discussions of safety and regulation to examine the diverse ways in which law and GMOs have become intertwined. It addresses issues arising from recent developments in the ongoing debates surrounding GMOs and their relationship to IP, including patent rights, plant breeders' rights, and the implications of biotechnology for agricultural innovation and food security. The contributors analyze how legal frameworks have responded to the growing acceptance and prevalence of GMOs, and how these responses vary across jurisdictions.
The volume marks the beginning of a broader engagement with the legal aspects of GMOs, exploring the tensions between encouraging innovation and ensuring access to essential technologies. As GMO technology becomes increasingly complex and integrated into our lives, this collection serves as a valuable resource for fostering further discussion and debate about GMOs in academia, government, and among policymakers.
This book is essential reading for legal scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of intellectual property law, biotechnology, and the regulation of GMOs.
