Intellectual properties in agriculture

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The importance of the agricultural sector in developing countries as a source of food, incomes, employment and often foreign exchange cannot be overstated. Intellectual property rights have been defined as “the rights given to people over the creations of their minds. Intellectual property right is a broad term used to cover patents, trademarks, plant breeder's rights, copyright, trade secrets and other types of rights that the law gives for the protection of investment in creative effort and knowledge creation. Knowledge, unlike a physical object, can be used by others. In this article some of these regulations such as agreements on agriculture related aspects of intellectual property rights are reviewed.
