Book Synopsis Intellectual Property, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development by : Kok Peng Khor
Book excerpt: Intellectual property rights are a major source of controversy. Corporations are now patenting human genes, plants and other biological materials, many of which exist in nature or have been used for generations by farmers and indigenous peoples. Martin Khor examines the biopiracy phenomenon, its links to the TRIPS Agreement, and its various effects.
