Plants form the basis of our diet. They are constantly being further developed through breeding in order to secure yields, generate new properties or adapt plants to the consequences of climate change. Companies protect their innovations and investments in plant breeding through patents and plant variety rights.
In this event, we will analyse and discuss the effects of patent and plant variety protection law from a legal, economic and social perspective.
Im Vorfeld der Abendveranstaltung findet im Deutschen Museum (von 15 – 16.30 Uhr) eine kostenlose Führung durch die Ausstellung „Landwirtschaft und Ernährung: Pflanzenbau“ statt.
