What Reviewers Are Saying
'Patenting Lives is a collection of lively and thought provoking essays which probe and challenge some existing paradigms in the law of patents and other rights when applied to biotechnology. These make a valuable and controversial contribution to a deeper understanding of such issues.' Trevor Cook, Bird & Bird, UK '... [this] book is very useful for IP experts, stakeholders, policy advisors, NGOs, students and researchers in the critical areas of IP law, and cultural studies.' Journal of Intellectual Property Rights
