Resumen

The author analysis international instruments and national laws dealing with patents, plant breeders rights, farmers ' rights, and sui generis protection and shows how they affect developing countries rich in biodiversity and traditional knowledge, such as Brazil. She raises awareness to problems derived from the patenting of genetic resources, plants, and traditional knowledge and presents sui generis alternatives proposed by different sectors of society in several countries (source: Kluwer Law International, Environmental Law Publications 2004)
