The Rhetoric Of Biopiracy, Paul J. Heald Jul 2003

The Rhetoric Of Biopiracy, Paul J. Heald

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the rhetorical strategy of advocates for long-term occupant communities (LTOCs) seeking sui generis intellectual property rights to combat biopiracy. While their goals are admirable, the approach is ineffective due to widespread skepticism towards expanding intellectual property rights. The author argues that market-based solutions and alliances with corporations could better preserve biodiversity and compensate communities.

Should China Provide Intellectual Property Protection For Genetically Modified Animals?, Ke Geng Jan 2003

Should China Provide Intellectual Property Protection For Genetically Modified Animals?, Ke Geng

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The advent of recombinant genetic engineering techniques has revolutionized biotechnology. The biomedicine and biotechnology industries have extensively employed these techniques to improve the quality of agricultural crops and livestock and to create genetically modified organisms ("GMOs") in order to produce drugs. Since as much as twenty-five percent of the world's intellectual property-related trade involves biotechnology, many countries have realized the importance of providing intellectual property protection for biotechnological technologies, including GMOs. In the past decade, China's booming economy has helped make its biotechnological market the fastest growing market in the world. To stimulate innovation and attract private investment in its …

Institutionalizing Inequality: The Wto Agreement On Agriculture, Food Security, And Developing Countries, Carmen G. Gonzalez Jan 2002

Institutionalizing Inequality: The Wto Agreement On Agriculture, Food Security, And Developing Countries, Carmen G. Gonzalez

Faculty Articles

The article examines the food security implications of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. It places the Agreement in historical context, examines its key provisions, and argues that the Agreement systematically favors industrialized country agricultural producers at the expense of farmers in developing countries. The Agreement enables industrialized countries to continue to subsidize agricultural production and to protect domestic producers from foreign competition while requiring market openness in developing countries. The article evaluates the effect of this imbalance on food security in developing countries, and proposes reforms to provide developing countries with the tools to promote access by all people at …

The World Trade Organization: Environmental Police?, Jane I. Yoon Apr 2001

The World Trade Organization: Environmental Police?, Jane I. Yoon

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the tension between the World Trade Organization's (WTO) primary goal of promoting free trade and its efforts to address environmental concerns. While the WTO has established mechanisms like the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) to reconcile trade and environmental issues, critics argue that its framework prioritizes trade over environmental protection. The note concludes that the WTO's environmental aspirations are commendable but ultimately impractical due to the inherent conflict between trade liberalization and environmental goals.

Unlabel Their Frankenstein Foods!: Evaluating A U.S. Challenge To The European Commission's Labeling Requirements, John S. Fredland Jan 2000

Unlabel Their Frankenstein Foods!: Evaluating A U.S. Challenge To The European Commission's Labeling Requirements, John S. Fredland

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The recent development of genetically-modified agriculture has been accepted enthusiastically by the U.S. agricultural producers, but the European public has expressed fear that the so-called "Frankenstein Foods" may be harmful to health and the environment. Faced with this public outcry, the European Commission. passed regulations, which mandated that food products containing genetically-modified agricultural products be labeled as such. Although the European Commission appears to have passed its labeling requirements without express or hidden protective intent, the regulations stand to make U.S. producers less competitive in the European market than their European counterparts. This Note contends that the United States should …

Applying Antidumping Law To Perishable Agricultural Goods, Michigan Law Review Jan 1982

Applying Antidumping Law To Perishable Agricultural Goods, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that the general sort of econometric test relied on by the Commerce Department in Mexican Vegetables represents a clear improvement over traditional price comparison methodology. Part I outlines important procedural and substantive aspects of the antidumping enforcement scheme and identifies several features of the traditional methodology that increase the likelihood of a less-than-fair-value finding in cases involving substantial price variation. Part II analyzes the economic characteristics of perishable agricultural goods that often produce wide variations in their prices. Part III finds that both the legislative history of the antidumping statute and economic theory proscribe only predatory pricing …

Disclosure Of Foreign Direct Investment In United States Agricultural Property, Edward C. Brewer, Iii Jan 1979

Disclosure Of Foreign Direct Investment In United States Agricultural Property, Edward C. Brewer, Iii

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

On October 14, 1978, Congress passed the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act, to require reports by foreign persons of their holdings in agricultural property. The Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to compile data from these reports, and to analyze the effect of foreign investment upon the agricultural economy. In its 1976 survey of foreign direct investment in the United States, the Department of Commerce found that, although sufficient data existed in most areas of the economy to support an assessment of the effect of foreign direct investment, data on foreign ownership of real estate was insufficient. This was attributed …
