Abstract
Intellectual property on life sciences and biotechnology: state of affairs, impacts and perspectives
Highlights
Everywhere in the world, it has been a major challenge to properly protect inventions and other innovation-oriented achievements in the fields of Life Sciences and Biotechnology
In Brazil, law takes into consideration the rights of traditional peoples on their traditional knowledge, and even on the knowledge that may be developed from genetic resources assumed to belong to traditional communities
A second source of uncertainty in the protection of intellectual assets in those fields has to do with the use of the flexibilities present in the Treaty on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Aspects, generally referred to as “TRIPS”
Summary
Everywhere in the world, it has been a major challenge to properly protect inventions and other innovation-oriented achievements in the fields of Life Sciences and Biotechnology. Courts may rule them unlawful based on ethical considerations not directly linked to any of the traditional patentability criteria.
