WEBINAR REGISTRATION
A programme on Patents on Life: Law and Social Ethics marking publication of the Cambridge University Press book, Patents on Life: Religious, Moral, and Social Justice Aspects of Biotechnology and Intellectual Property (Berg, Cholij, and Ravenscroft eds., 2019).
The book covers an array of globally debated issues concerning the ownership of rewards from biotechnology, and the scope of moral or social-justice limits on patents or on licensing practices. It offers a unique collection of legal, ethical, political, and religious perspectives on:
- Patenting of gene-sequence material
- Use of traditional knowledge and genetic resources: "bioprospecting" or "biopiracy"?
- Patents on genetically engineered crops: their effect on farmers' productivity and autonomy
- Patents on gene-editing technology
- Patents and access to biologic drugs
