Summary
This book recounts the colourful and eventful journey to the landmark WIPO Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge, from the proposal for a new patent disclosure requirement in 1999 to the adoption of the Treaty 25 years later. Offering a first-person account from his unique position as having been a Director at WIPO and responsible for the negotiations for many years, Wend Wendland analyzes the Treaty and its negotiating history, lifting the curtain on how its adoption by consensus was achieved.
