Full Description
As biotechnology continues to transform agriculture, healthcare, and industry, understanding its legal, ethical, and safety implications has become essential. The bookoffers a comprehensive exploration of the key frameworks that govern innovation and safety in the biotech sector. Structured into four interconnected parts, this book equips students, researchers, policymakers, and professionals with the foundational knowledge and practical insights needed to navigate this evolving landscape.
Part I focuses on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), introducing the fundamental types of IP, including patents, copyrights, and plant variety protection. It also explains the patent application process, international treaties, and the role of IPR in global biotechnology trade.
Part II delves into biosafety principles and regulations, covering biohazard containment, biosafety risk assessment, and the legal instruments that shape national and international biosafety policies.
Part III addresses the risk and safety assessment of transgenic organisms, particularly GM crops and plants. It explores environmental and food safety concerns, detection methods, and long-term monitoring of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Part IV examines the bioethical and societal dimensions of biotechnology, highlighting field trial protocols, ethical considerations, and challenges such as biopiracy and the misappropriation of genetic resources.
With clear explanations, regulatory context, and case-based perspectives, this book serves as a valuable academic resource and a practical guide for responsible innovation in biotechnology. It promotes informed decision-making and ethical conduct in scientific research, development, and commercialization.
