| Research Abstract |
Two important systems to protect the intellectual property associated with plants have coexisted : the protection system of new plant varieties (UPOV-International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants) and the patent system for plant genes. This research demonstrates that these two systems are overlapping as a result of advances in biotechnology and the overlapping has put farmers and traditional breeders at a disadvantage against big companies that have high technology.
