Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: 1, University of Bremen, course: Seminar, language: English, abstract: Major industries relating to inventions in marine biotechnology increasingly apply for patents. Mostpatents are applied for inventions that are derived from terrestrial biotechnology. However, it isrecognized that marine biotechnology offers a high potential to yield inventions as well. Marinebiotechnology can be divided into two main areas. First, development of commercially viable drugsobtained from marine bioprospecting and, second, development of marine genetically modifiedorganisms for aquacultural and environmental purposes.A patent means intellectual protection for an invention. Intellectual protection confers the exclusiveright upon the patent holder to sell the right of utilization of the invention to interested parties. Theselling of licenses provide one important way of receiving revenues for the research done for theinvention. The prospect of potential revenues provide the incentive for investment into biotechnologicalresearch and subsequent patenting of inventions arising thereof.The overall aim of this work is to illustrate the close interrelationship of science and law by usingmarine biotechnology and patents as an example.Section two provides an overview on the scientific side of marine biotechnology. It will definemarine biotechnology and investigate current advancements in marine biotechnology. Additionally, itroughly explains the international patent system governing inventions in the biotechnological area andprovide examples on patents related to marine biotechnology.Section three illustrates the criticism expressed against life form patents in marine as well asterrestrial biotechnology. It will describe the most important cases that have fueled controversialdebates on life form patents until today.[.].…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Biology - Ecology, grade: A, University of Bremen (Center of Marine Tropical Ecology), course: Essay for M.Sc. course, language: English, abstract: In the first part, this essay aims at providing a rough overview about the most important topics in the literature dealing with alien invasive species. This overview tries to answer questions about the general biology of alien invasive species and the existence of a perfect invader. However, some ecosystems seem to be more susceptible to invasion than others do. General assumptions are that the tropics are less invasible than temperate regions and that islands are more vulnerable than continental areas. An alien species must complete three stages of human-mediated spreading which are transportation, introduction and establishment in order to become invasive. An alien invasive species might then have positive or negative impacts. Either it adds to the species richness or it has detrimental effects on the ecological, economical or human health sector. However, sophisticated treatments are available to prevent several means of introduction. The second part of this essay will provide a critical evaluation about the literature reviewed. There still exists a great deal of uncertainty and variety of opinions within publications. The need of increased prevention of introductions and collaboration are conclusions that can be drawn. Furthermore, public awareness has to be raised and a clear definition of terms is a must. Finally, it is important to recall that many alien species are responsible for human well-being by providing food and aesthetics.…
