Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a detailed and critical account of the emergence, development and implementation of plant variety protection laws in Asian countries. In so doing, the book explores how Asian countries can capitalise on the 'unused policy space' in international agreements such as TRIPS and UPOV, and in the CBD and the Plant Treaty.
