Patenting Lives includes contributions from various interests and perspectives, both in the context of current international developments in life patents and the global agenda of harmonization of international intellectual property. The book is divided into five sections reflecting the critical issues arising from patents and biotechnology - Context; Human Rights and Ethical Frameworks; Medicine and Public Health; Traditional Knowledge; and Agriculture. The international contributors from government, civil society, academia and the private sector provide diverse perspectives on life patents and the facilitation of social, cultural and economic development in the context of international principles of trade.
Industry Reviews

'Patenting Lives is a collection of lively and thought provoking essays which probe and challenge some existing paradigms in the law of patents and other rights when applied to biotechnology. These make a valuable and controversial contribution to a deeper understanding of such issues.' Trevor Cook, Bird & Bird, UK '... [this] book is very useful for IP experts, stakeholders, policy advisors, NGOs, students and researchers in the critical areas of IP law, and cultural studies.' Journal of Intellectual Property Rights
