Intellectual property rights related to the genetically modified glyphosate tolerant soybeans in Brazil.

چکیده
The present work analyzes the different modalities of protection of the intellectual creations in the biotechnology agricultural field. Regarding the Brazilian legislations related to the theme (the Industrial Property Law - no. 9. 279/96 and the Plant Variety Protection Law - no. 9. 456/97), and based in the international treaties signed by Brazil, the present work points to the inclusions of each of them, as well as to their interfaces using as reference the case study of glyphosate tolerant genetically modified soybean. For this case study, Monsanto's pipelines patents were searched and used to analyze the limits of patent protection in respect to others related to the Intellectual Property (IP) laws. Thus, it was possible to elucidate the complex scenario of the Intellectual Property of the glyphosate tolerant soybeans, since for the farmer it is hard to correlate the royalties payment with the IP enterprise's rights.

Increased use of pesticides due to glyphosate tolerant crops in USA Most herbicide tolerant crops are grown in the USA, Brazil and Argentina. US Department of Agriculture data shows that between 1994 and 2006 glyphosate use per hectare of soybeans increased by more than 2.5 times, from 0.58 to 1.49 kg/ha/year. Glyphosate also did not replace other herbicides. During the period 2002 to 2006 the ...

Natural out-crossing rates were evaluated for conventional soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivated adjacent to genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-tolerant soybeans under field conditions during a four-year period in Japan. A total of 107 846 progeny of 2772 plants harvested from conventional varieties were screened for glyphosate herbicide tolerance. The highest out-crossing rates, 0.19%...

Due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is very important. In this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35S). It is applied for quantitative-competitor (QC) PCR as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of GM food....

We assessed the effects of cultivating two genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-tolerant soybean varieties (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) derived from Event 40-3-2 and a Japanese conventional variety on arthropods under field conditions, with weed control using glyphosate and conventional weed control for two years. Plant height and dry weight of the conventional variety were significantly larger tha...
