My analysis relies on shrubs and flowers that may be reaped without a fair and equitable distribution of benefits. My findings highlight that Western pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies' innovations may overlap sovereign states’ intellectual property rights, implying that regulatory gaps must be filled to empower local communities to benefit from biodiversity and ecosystem services. Therefore, I suggest that the island adopt effective and consistent access and benefit-sharing policies, including mechanisms that encourage environmental protection and require prior informed consent and mutually agreed terms for utilizing genetic resources. I also suggest the introduction of disclosure of origin and/or source of genetic resources in their respective patents regime to ensure that Convention on Biological Diversity regulations and other related international frameworks can be followed. 000048030 542__ $$fhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0172219023000042 000048030 588__ $$aCrossref 000048030 590__ $$aPublished online: 08-Feb-23 000048030 650_0 $$aPatents. 000048030 7001_ $$aForestal, Roberto Louis,$$eauthor. 000048030 7730_ $$tWorld Patent Information$$wWPI 000048030 830_0 $$aWorld Patent Information,$$v72, March, 2023. 000048030 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.wpi.2023.102174$$yonline version 000048030 904__ $$aJournal article 000048030 980__ $$aWPI
