- Patenting of higher life forms and related issues : report to the Government of Canada
- abstract: This report identifies and examines issues relating to whether higher life forms should be patentable in Canada. It concludes that plants and animals should be patentable, provided that the special nature of biological inventions is taken into account. The recommendations derive from research conducted by the Canadian Biotechnology Advisory Committee and its consultations with key stakeholder groups and members of the public. They reflect the importance of addressing social and ethical concerns related to biotechnology and the balance between the rights of patent holders and those seeking access to the benefits of biotechnological inventions.
