Side Event

Agricultural Biotechnology Trends - What Opportunities for post-patent data access and stewardship?

Organizer
International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA Africenter)

Date and Time
30 September 2014 13:15 - 14:45

Meeting
Seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety

The event will discuss the possibilities of accessing post-patents' data for genetically modified traits in crop biotechnology and the approaches that interested parties could use to ensure proper stewardship. This is particularly important for developing countries and public sector researchers where innovation systems have been weak and investments in R&D low. An integrated approach that considers a combination of old and new traits provides new options for pursuance of sustainable development goals
