Beschreibung
The book reviews the history, present, and likely future of intellectual property for plant-related inventions. It describes “what works” and “what does not work” in the current situation and analyzes whether the current intellectual property framework will be able to cope with the rise of genome editing/new breeding technologies (especially CRISPR Cas). Based on trend data, the analysis shows that the current system, including stakeholder initiatives, will most likely not be able to adapt to the technology change. It then evaluates different options for legislators to respond and proposes in detail a new holistic IP system which merges elements of the patent and the plant variety protection system into one new system.

Analysis the potential impact of new breeding technologies like CRISPR Cas on plant breeders and farmers Shows that there is an urgent need for legislators to respond to the intellectual property law framework Advocates a new protection system intended to replace plant variety + plant-related patent protection with a uniform law

“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.” (APBREBES Newsletter, Issue 54, November 10, 2022)
