Recent development in biodiversity, biotechnology, and bioinformatics has paved the way for commercial innovations and investments juxtaposing the regime of the global patent system and public welfare. As biodiversity provides the basic material for the apparatus of biotechnology for research and innovation to be used in bioinformatics, where such biological research data and information are stored, analyzed, and procured with the help of genetics and information technology. Increased commercialization of biological material, biotechnological research and bioinformatics tools has stimulated the research and business community to think seriously about monetary investments and intellectual property protection. In this context, this selected book offers an important contribution in recent literature on biotechnology and intellectual property rights (IPRs) interfacing law and technology.
