Examining the clash between the drive to incentivise innovations that can fulfil human needs and the desire to grant global access to healthcare technologies, it presents thoughtful solutions to the challenges of protecting the human rights of all parties impacted by biotechnological patents and other relevant IP rights. After laying out the essential biotechnological innovations of the last 40 years, the authors conduct an in-depth analysis of European exclusive rights relating to biotechnology and healthcare, with particular attention to five key European jurisdictions - France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK. Delving into complex legal and ethical disputes over the rights to privacy, integrity, autonomy, health and science, the book argues for a more balanced patent system, protecting both human rights and intellectual property. This book will be a thought-provoking read for legal scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceutical law, human rights law and intellectual property law. With its in-depth discussion of cutting-edge advances in biotechnology and the laws related to it, it will also prove enlightening for scholars and students interested in engaging with the field for the first time. 000048738 650_0 $$aBiotechnology$$xLaw and legislation$$zEurope. 000048738 650_0 $$aHuman rights$$zEurope. 000048738 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$zEurope. 000048738 650_0 $$aPatents$$zEurope. 000048738 650_6 $$aDroits de l"homme (Droit international)$$zEurope. 000048738 650_7 $$aBiotechnology$$xLaw and legislation$$2fast 000048738 650_7 $$aHuman rights$$2fast 000048738 650_7 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$2fast 000048738 650_0 $$aPatents. 000048738 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000048738 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000048738 651_7 $$aEurope$$2fast 000048738 7001_ $$aŻakowska-Henzler, Helena. 000048738 7001_ $$aZemła-Pacud, Żaneta. 000048738 7001_ $$aZimny, Tomasz. 000048738 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/monobook/book/9781803920269/9781803920269.xml$$yView eBook 000048738 904__ $$aBook 000048738 980__ $$aBIB$$aOS
