One of goals of the Forum is to create a public voice on the issues raised by the relentless expansion of what are considered to be patentable products, processes, discoveries, inventions and appropriated goods, or what is commonly referred to as intellectual property. http://www.forumonpublicdomain.ca "Patenting lives" is a research project hosted by the Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute, University of London. It gathers together interdisciplinary experts to consider intellectual property protections and restrictions on life forms, and particularly the impact on developing and least developed countries. http://www.patentinglives.org "Friends of the commons" is a project of the Tides Foundation which support citizens working to protect and expand the commons (seeds, air, water, etc). http://friendsofthecommons.org/ ________________________________________________________ ABOUT BIO-IPR -- BIO-IPR is an irregular listserver produced by GRAIN.
