Abstract

This chapter dives into the changing world of intellectual property rights (IPR), highlighting the transition from informal protection methods to the current global trend of advocating for stronger IPR systems, a shift heavily influenced by international agreements like TRIPS and by the advent of genetically modified seeds. It also analyzes some trends in agricultural research and development (R&D) and explores their potential connections with IPR systems. The chapter unravels the complex relationship between IPR and agricultural R&D, pointing out the varied impacts on different countries, technologies, and sectors. The ongoing discussions about how IPR affects innovation highlight the crucial need for policies seeking to balance the interests of the private sector while ensuring fair access to agricultural innovations and knowledge.
