BIO-IPR
In July 2009, after 12 years of
uninterrupted service, GRAIN decided to stop producing BIO-IPR in its
current form. We will transform it into a lighter web-based service,
which will still be accessible through email subscription.
We are currently working on a revision of our website which will
incorporate a feature that allows us to post short materials related to
intellectual property and people's struggles for local control over
biodiversity (among other issues). This will take the place of BIO-IPR. |
BIO-IPR was an electronic information service produced by GRAIN. Its purpose was to disseminate news and analysis about recent developments in the field of intellectual property rights (IPRs) related to biodiversity and associated knowledge, especially in developing countries.
BIO-IPR is a strictly non-commercial and educational service tailoured to nonprofit organisations and individuals active in the struggle against IPRs on life. BIO-IPR has been in production since September 1998.
