Description

This comprehensive historical analysis traces the evolution of the international patent regime and life science industries from the late 19th century to the present day. The book examines how patent law development became inextricably linked to expanding capacities to elucidate, manipulate and commercially exploit the molecular properties of micro-organisms, plants, animals and other organic raw materials. Beginning with European synthetic dyestuff firms, the narrative culminates in present-day pharmaceutical and biotechnology conglomerates including Aventis, Novartis and Pharmacia. Published by Routledge, this work provides essential context for understanding how intellectual property frameworks shaped the twentieth century evolution of chemical and pharmaceutical industries, making it invaluable for legal scholars, business historians and professionals in the life sciences sector.
