It provides an abundance of information on the use of IP laws in agriculture and allied subjects and their proper implementation in real-life practice. The chapter authors discuss different kinds of IP laws and their current status in developed as well as developing countries throughout the world. The protection of biological resources is crucial for food security for future generations. Biological resources are the source of several important genes. Researchers are interested in the development of plant varieties that can increase crop production, withstand dramatic climatic changes, etc. Protecting intellectual property rights in plant varieties and the rights of farmers and others are discussed in this volume.

Reviews

Essential reading for those interested in agricultural law, biodiversity regulation and proposals for the regulation of access to genetic resources. . . . India has taken the lead in the protection of farmers' rights and farmers' varieties, and in international discussions on the protection of genetic resources, and this volume of Indian scholarship on Indian intellectual property law and agriculture provides an alternative perspective to the Western scholarship on intellectual property rights (IPRs). In addition to chapters on intellectual property and agriculture, it looks at the relationship between biodiversity conservation and intellectual property. -European Intellectual Property Review, 41(7), 2019, Review by Michael Blakeney, University of Western Australia
