Sweet Cherry Cultivars

This paper discusses the importance of government research and innovation policies designed to reflect changing demand conditions and strengthen competitiveness of the British Columbia (BC) sweet cherry industry. Canadian plant breeding programs have responded to market demand by releasing cultivars that have extended the marketing season and resulted in higher export price premiums earned in European and Asian markets. Stronger Canadian intellectual property rights (IPR) legislation has facilitated the commercialization of a range of cultivars with valuable attributes. However, the combination of Canada being a net importer of sweet cherries and the rapid adoption of BC cultivars by Washington State orchardists has challenged Canadian policy makers to implement IPR policies that can contribute to maximizing royalty returns and sustain the Canadian plant breeding program. Key words: Sweet cherry cultivars, plant breeding, intellectual property rights

This paper intends to specifically verify what patent issues may be encountered in telemedicine, using 2007, 2008, and 2009 International Property Rights Index (IPRI), which is the first international comparative study that measures the significance of both physical and intellectual property rights and their protection for economic well-being. Patent issues acts as a hindrance factor against spreading and promoting telemedicine, and to solve this hindrance factor, i.e., patent issues, and for the purpose of spreading and promoting telemedicine so that the benefit of medicine may reach everybody, including people living in developing countries, it seems extremely important to recognize the presence of “patent issues” in the field of “telemedicine”.
