Intellectual property rights in plant breeding and the impact on agricultural innovation

Research output: Non-textual form › Web publication/site › Academic

Abstract

In plant breeding, two types of intellectual property rights (IPRs) play a major role; plant breeders’ rights (PBRs), developed between 1900 and 1950; and patent rights, which emerged with the rise of modern biotechnology. This paper examines the impact of both systems on breeders, farmers and agricultural innovation.
