Within the framework of the 1986-1987 program of the International (Paris) Union for the Protection of Industrial Property, the Committee of Experts on Biotechnological Inventions and Industrial Property (hereinafter referred to as the "Committee of Experts") held its second session in February 1986. It recommended that the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) should carry out a study of the existing situation with respect to the legal protection of biotechnological inventions in each field of biotechnology where different forms of protection may be available (process, product and use protection in the field of plants, animals and microorganisms and in other fields of biotechnology). The study should include an analysis of the existing possibilities of protection or lack of protection and should take into account the most recent developments in the field of industrial property protection of biotechnological inventions (new legislation, jurisprudence or new administrative practices) (see document BIOT/CE/II/3, paragraph 85 to 89, reproduced in Annex I to this document).
