"Michael Andreas Kock ... provides a comprehensive analysis of the current system of intellectual property rights on plants - its problems and limitations. What is remarkable about his work ... is the development of a vision to solve existing and future problems. ... Michael Kock is aware that the likelihood of such an initiative is currently considered low, but his contribution will certainly stimulate all those who will work on a solution in the future."
