LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW

This is a special issue of Bio-Science Law Review, which carries edited papers of the ISF International Seminar held in Copenhagen in 2006. The International Seed Federation represents the mainstream of seed trade and the plant breeding community in the world. It is a non-governmental, non-profit organization representing the seed industry. With members spread over 68 developed countries on all continents, ISF serves as an international forum where issues of interest to the seed industry are discussed. ISF promotes the establishment and protection of intellectual property rights for seeds, plant varieties and associated technologies, which follow from research investments in plant breeding plant biotechnology, seed technology and related subjects. It facilitates the marketing and of planting seeds and other reproductive materials by publishing rules for trading seed and licensing technology. These rules clarify and standardize contractual relations between buyers and sellers at the international level.

The New Challenges to the International Patentability of Biotechnology: Legal Relations Between the WTO Treaty on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and the Convention on Biological Diversity
Jonathan Curci
Brigham Young University International Law & Management Review
Volume 2, Number 1, Winter 2005

LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW

Since the treaty on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) of the World Trade Organization Agreement internationalized the patentability of living forms, the international community has engaged a lively debate on the interstate exchange of biological diversity and the benefit sharing thereof. This controversy concerns the well-known opposition between industrialized and developing countries. The latter, rich in biological resources, must provide Patents for the exclusive rights to products or processes based upon raw material allegedly misappropriated from their countries by private corporations from industrialized countries. The author analyzes the legal conflicts between intellectual property Treaties and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and TRIPS. He then utilizes the rules of treaty interpretation under the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties to suggest ways in which parties to both bodies of law can interpret and implement them in a mutually supportive manner. Finally, the author outlines the current WTO Members’ opposing positions and reviews the TRIPS Agreement as appropriate in leading future WTO Ministerial Conferences.
