Description
Following the US Patent Office's announcement in 1987 that it considers animals "to be patentable subject matter within the scope" of patent laws, there has been considerable worldwide debate on this subject. This work comprises the proceedings of the Animal Patents Symposium held at Cornell University, USA, on December 5-6, 1988, organized by the editor of this work.
