In this paper, we discuss the implications of the recent Intellectual Property Right (IPR) enforcement in the European Union (EU) as a potential factor affecting agrifood biotechnology industry stagnation. After presenting a theoretical framework justifying patents, we describe some controversial questions in the European patent protection related to: a) the distinction between discovery and invention and; b) the morality and ordre public exception to the patentability. Although we provide some evidence about the reduction in importance of agrifood activities compared to that of pharmaceutical areas of application, we conclude that differences between EU and other developed countries IPR legislations are not the principal regulatory controversial factor affecting activities in the agrifood biotechnology sector.

State Of Affairs

Considering and researching the content and essence of the main issues of this article through the prism of the current state of affairs in the domestic and global legal field, it is stated that such a legal phenomenon as intellectual property law is constantly increasing the importance and presence in jurisprudence and everyday life. Examples of the most successful experience of developed and democratic foreign countries in the field of legal support of intellectual property rights are considered. The potential of future introduction of one or another successful foreign example or the approach on which it is based into the Ukrainian social and legal realities is analyzed. The author's definitions of the concepts "intellectual property", "intellectual property right" and "enforcement of intellectual property rights" are offered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in order to properly ensure intellectual property rights in Ukraine, it is first necessary to create and implement clear and effective legal regulation in this area. It is emphasized that not all methods and means of ensuring intellectual property rights, which have demonstrated success in certain countries, will be suitable for use in Ukraine. Therefore, the main focus of this article was not only to highlight successful examples of the functioning of intellectual property rights in developed countries, but also to select those that could be successfully adopted in the domestic legal field.

Exclusive Right

Intellectual property rights are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A patent for an animal breed is the exclusive right of the inventor to his selection achievement, it is a legal monopoly provided by the state, and patent protection prevents commercial use without the consent of its owner. Today's challenges are directly related to food security. The practical application of breeding achievements in animal husbandry, in particular, is the genetic improvement of animals from the «economic side», which directly affects the level of investment and rewards for breeders, and thus the need for effective legal protection of intellectual property rights. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts regulating the procedure for obtaining legal protection of selection achievements in animal husbandry, the article examines problematic positions and suggests ways to resolve conflicts in the legal regulation of these issues. The methods of our study were chosen taking into account the purpose and objectives of the study. The study used philosophical, general scientific and special legal methods of scientific knowledge. Keywords: object of intellectual property right, selection achievement, selection achievement in animal husbandry, protection of intellectual property right

Problems related to selected issues of unitary patent protection Unitary patent protection is one of the key challenges for the European Union. The current initiatives, which – despite being just a short step away from full implementation due to legal and formal issues, such as the complex legal structure or non-legal claims concerning their negative impact on the economy and competitiveness of enterprises – still raise doubts and uncertainties. The aim of this article is to illustrate the problem of unitary patent protection on selected issues concerning the European patent with unitary effect and the Unified Patent Court. The obstacles that prevent the implementation of the Unified Patent Court are presented. Critical voices assessing the proposed model of unitary patent protection are also presented and discussed.

A lógica das redes permeia o estudo da sociedade e do poder, devido à interação entre atores sociais e a formação de redes de (contra)poder. O direito da propriedade intelectual não fica alheio, porquanto o acesso a medicamentos em determinados casos depende de mecanismos de afronta ao sistema de proteção dominante. Assim, a pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar o acesso a medicamentos no sistema internacional de proteção à propriedade intelectual sob a lógica do contrapoder exercido na sociedade em rede. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo, de forma que se aplica, como método de procedimento, o monográfico, bem como a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Ao fim, concluiu-se que a afronta ao sistema de proteção à propriedade intelectual e a flexibilização do Acordo TRIPS é uma garantia de países menos desenvolvidos para acesso a medicamentos, alterando-se a programação e impedindo o sucesso de redes dominantes de poder. The logic of networks permeates the study of society and power, due to the interaction between social actors and the formation of networks of (counter)power. The intellectual property right is not alien, since access to medicines in certain cases depends on mechanisms of affront to the dominant protection system. Thus, the research aims to study the access to medicines in the international system of protection of intellectual property under the logic of counterpower exercised in the network society. To do so, the deductive approach and the monographic procedure are used, as well as bibliographic research technique is applied. Finally, it was concluded that the affront to the system of intellectual property protection and the flexibilization of the TRIPS Agreement is a guarantee of less developed countries for access to medicines, changing programming and preventing the success of dominant networks of power.

Ipr Protection

AbstractIntellectual property right (IPR) protection for biomedicines is vitally important in China as China is now one of the largest biomedicine manufacturing countries in the world. This paper discusses the main IPR protection system of biomedicines in China which is composed of a patent system, a new medicine monitor system and a new medicine administrative protection system. We also point out that the trend of the development of the IPR system in China is to gradually reduce the administrative protection of biomedicines and to enhance reforms of international patent protection.
