"This book was first published in 1998. Now fully revised and updated, it presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form (with a minimum of legal jargon). New chapters have been added, which cover plant variety protection and farmers' rights. The latter chapter provides a background to the impact of policies and treaties on farmers' current and future rights. In the second section there are also three new country chapters, Indonesia, Russia and Brazil, as well as other updated country chapters. The book provides information on intellectual property management concepts and practical implementation, and will be of great value to those working in biotechnology, breeding, agricultural economics and policy and law."--BOOK JACKET.
