Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruits of human creativity are linked to Intellectual property and are integral to the progress of human kind, an indispensable element in economic development in present global environment. Intellectual property plays an important role in an increasingly broad range of areas, ranging from the Internet, biotechnology, forests, agriculture, health care and nearly all aspects of science and technology. At present, there is a sharp contrast between the wide spread international recognition of biotechnology s benefits and the apprehensions about its possible dangers to ecology. The Book Intellectual Property Rights and Conservation of Forest Resources provides information on international perspective of important issues in the field of patenting. The book examines international agreements, as well as national laws on the Intellectual Property Rights. The book makes readers aware of historical developments associated with IPR and requirements of IPR relating to spatial information or any geo-data . The case study on computerized application for determining vulnerability of species in wild , throws new dimension to determining vulnerability of species. The author, Dr Sudhanshu Gupta, has demonstrated computerized application for determining vulnerability of species in wild and has defined vulnerability of species based on statistically determined probable mathematical estimates. It is a book many people, may like to read to gain new depth and meaning to IPR related resources and their vulnerability.

Book excerpt: A human rights-based agenda has received significant attention in writings on general development policy, but less so in forestry. Forests and People presents a comprehensive analysis of the rights-based agenda in forestry, connecting it with existing work on tenure reform, governance rights and cultural rights. As the editors note in their introduction, the attention to rights in forestry differs from 'rights-based approaches' in international development and other natural resource fields in three critical ways. First, redistribution is a central demand of activists in forestry but not in other fields. Many forest rights activists call for not only the redirection of forest benefits but also the redistribution of forest tenure to redress historical inequalities. Second, the rights agenda in forestry emerges from numerous grassroots initiatives, setting forest-related human rights apart from approaches that derive legitimacy from transnational human rights norms and are driven by international and national organizations. Third, forest rights activists attend to individual as well as peoples' collective rights whereas approaches in other fields tend to emphasize one or the other set of rights. Forests and People is a timely response to the challenges that remain for advocates as new trends and initiatives, such as market-based governance, REDD, and a rush to biofuels, can sometimes seem at odds with the gains from what has been a two decade expansion of forest peoples' rights. It explores the implications of these forces, and generates new insights on forest governance for scholars and provides strategic guidance for activists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recenty there have ben attemtps globally, regionally and nationally to create forums at the U.N. level and other trade rellated levels by NGOs, commercial groups as well as community based groups for defining the rights of farmers. innovators, tribal inventors for protection of traditional knowledge and resource base as well as creating a social and legal infrastructure to patent or reward the inventing communities for the innovations through a profit sharing mechanism. These controversies brought about several important issues regarding patenting and protecting intellectual property rights of disadvantaged communities, farmers, tribals as well as protecting the traditional resource and knowledge base of each country. India accords constitutional protectio and affirmative action to its scheduled castes and tribes, yet, willingly or unwillingly, state actions deprive the STs of their basic economic resources, i.e.forest, land and water Clandestine encroachment is being made in tribal areas by commercial interests linked to a world-wide net-work of the flora and Fauna.

This book was released on 2011-12-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology is at the heart of heated debates about ethics, safety, economic development, and about the control over the biological materials and technologies used. The latter, grossly called biodiversity issues relating to the application of intellectual property, has been the subject of a wealth of literature. Yet, the situation of animal genetic resources specifically has only marginally been addressed so far. Many books and articles address ‘biotechnology and agriculture’, but have only plants and seeds in mind. Case-law and specific regulation is equally scarce. Exacerbated by the so-called ‘erosion of animal genetic resources’, climate change, the globalization of the market-place, and a strong concentration of markets, animal genetic resources however demand specific analysis and adjustments in intellectual property law. The decoupling of rights over animal genetic resources as an abstract concept, from those over the concrete animals is a fact today. The application of patents in this context became a full-fledged part of the management of animal genetic resources. This monograph analyzes against this background the impact of the patent system on ownership traditions in agriculture, on animal welfare, and on biodiversity. It looks at how those factors in turn are likely to affect the shape of patent law, and how they should affect it. The author hereby focuses on important specific issues arising, including the following: the underlying elements deciding on the shape of regulation – innovation, economic development, agriculture, human rights, animal welfare, the conservation of resources, and equal trading conditions; the continuing applicability of trademarks, geographical indications, copyright, and trade secrets; patentability rules and exclusions; the extension of patent rights over progeny; the meaning of ‘essentially biotechnological processes’; the legal definitions of ‘morality’ and ‘ordre public’ in the context of animal welfare; and the future of international patent law in the context of global governance theories. With detailed investigation of how three major jurisdictions – the European Union, the United States, and Canada – have regulated the matter, the book highlights unresolved issues in the laws dealing with animal genetic resources. How do the usual principles of patent law affect ownership over animals in agriculture? To what extent is patent law in accordance with neighbouring fields of regulation, with relation to animal welfare? How can intellectual property be used to alter, stimulate, or tackle developments in the realm of the conservation and promotion of biodiversity? Questions like these are asked, checked upon the more technical country studies; and then used to put to test the adequacy of international patent regulation in a final chapter. As a deeply informed overview of the arguments and discussion points, this is the only book of its kind. It links general discussions to the often technical and complicated patent regulations, in the specific context of animal genetic resources. It is sure to bring lawyers in the field closer to the policy debates; and decision makers closer to the precise idiosyncrasies of patent law.

Book excerpt: The tropical rain forests have become an important focus in the search for new drugs from natural sources, especially from plants. This volume aims to promote a better understanding between scientists and institutions located in the developed and developing countries, in their efforts to search for new medicinal agents from the plants of these forests. The papers have been contributed by scientists and researchers from both developed and developing countries worldwide, and cover issues relevant to biodiversity prospecting activities. Such issues include rules and regulations on the collection of genetic materials for biological testing; logistical and technical challenges to be faced; sharing the benefits of discovery; patent protection for the discovery of potentially useful drug candidates; intellectual property rights; and indigenous property rights. The volume will be invaluable in achieving more fruitful collaborative efforts between scientists from different countries and different institutional affiliations, in their search for new drugs from tropical forest plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an assessment of the international forest regime, in reponse to calls from many quarters, including the UN Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IFF) and the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as well as several NGOs. The focus is mainly on action taken by countries at the global level, in the framework of legally binding instruments and institutions. It builds on previous analyses of the international forest regime by looking beyond the legal mandates to begin exploring the actual performance of the components against their mandates. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF) Proposals for Action as the point for departure, the effectiveness and impact of individual legal instruments and global instutions are analyzed, as is the potential for synergy between them.
