American Patent Policy, Biotechnology, and African Agriculture: The Case for Policy Change
November 2003
Michael Taylor and Jerry Cayford
In their new study, American Patent Policy, Biotechnology, and African Agriculture: The Case for Policy Change, RFF Senior Fellow Michael Taylor and Jerry Cayford document current patent policy in the United States and show how it may well impede use of biotech agricultural advances in developing countries. They suggest a set of policy changes that could help African farmers access these new technologies, while leaving intact the structure of the patent system and not undercutting the innovation incentives it provides.
