The Protection of Genetic Resources: Potential for Regional Cooperation, in: Kreation Innovation Märkte - Creation Innovation Markets - Festschrift Reto M. Hilty, Springer, Berlin; Heidelberg 2024, 603 - 617. DOI

• Over the past years, two passions have guided the academic efforts of the distinguished Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Reto M. Hilty as Director of the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition: the unfolding of the economic and innovative potential of Latin America and the solution of grand challenges to humanity. Few topics fit so well into the intersection of these endeavors as the protection of genetic resources. The unique biodiversity of Latin American countries not only needs to be protected in order for environmental goals to be achieved, but it also provides them with great potential for innovation and use of technologies. The realization of this untapped potential, however, requires appropriate regulations. By assigning countries sovereign rights over genetic resources and supporting the sharing of the benefits that arise from their use, the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Nagoya Protocol have opened an important gateway to this. Nevertheless, its objectives have not been achieved in the last decades. This article presents some of the main factors determining the failure of these international instruments and analyzes regulatory alternatives at the regional and plurilateral levels that countries interested in obtaining a fair and equitable benefit sharing for the use of their resources may adopt.

• O texto trata do estabelecimento e evolução dos direitos da propriedade in-telectual na América Latina. Perpassa os contextos nos quais esses direitos foram incorporados ao arcabouço legal doméstico. Ainda que as economias latino-americanas sejam mais ou menos frágeis do ponto de vista da pro-priedade intelectual, as conclusões apontam que há diversos desafios a se-rem enfrentados, mas que os países da região têm potencial para superá-los e avançar na proteção e na utilização dos seus ativos intelectuais.
• This article deals with the establishment and evolution of intellectual property rights in Latin America. It goes through the contexts in which these rights have been in-corporated into the domestic legal framework. Although Latin American economies are more or less fragile from the point of view of intellectual property, the conclusions indicate that there are several challenges to be faced, but that the countries of the region have the potential to overcome them and advance in the protection and use of their intellectual assets.

The WIPO IGC Chair's Draft on IP and Genetic Resources—Reasons for Concern, Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice 19, 4 (2024), 328 - 336. DOI

• The requirement to disclose certain information in a patent application in order to promote compliance with national rules on access and benefit-sharing (ABS) related to genetic resources (GRs) has been a very controversial topic. After decades of disagreements, an international instrument in this area is expected to be agreed during a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Diplomatic Conference to be held in 2024.
  
  The basis for the final steps in the negotiation is the Chair’s Draft prepared by the Secretariat of the WIPO Intergovernmental Committee. The question is, however, whether this Draft has the potential to achieve the desired goals.
  
  This article undertakes a critical analysis of the Draft to assess its adequacy for an effective protection of GRs and its suitability for strategic policies on ABS. We also explore alternative regulatory options for specific issues.

New Genomic Techniques and Intellectual Property Law: Challenges and Solutions for the Plant Breeding Sector - Position Statement of the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition: Munich, 8 January 2024, GRUR Int 73, 4 (2024), 323 - 339 (together with Daria Kim et al.). DOI

• On 5 July 2023, the European Commission proposed a regulation aiming to ease the requirements for the marketing authorisation of plants obtained through certain new genomic techniques (NGTs) within the European Union (EU). While NGTs are expected to become more attractive to breeders and farmers, the complexity of the intellectual property (IP) landscape surrounding these techniques and resulting products may negatively impact technology diffusion and innovation. Given numerous concerns related to IP protection for NGTs and NGT-derived plants, this Position Statement from the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition presents a set of policy recommendations for facilitating access to and utilisation of IP-protected NGTs and NGT-derived products in the breeding sector.

Revisiting the Framework for Compulsory Licensing of Patents in the European Union – Reflections on the European Commission’s Initiative, GRUR Int 72, 5 (2023), 471 - 482 (together with Matthias Lamping et al.). DOI

• Within the scope of its initiative on ‘Compulsory Licensing in the EU’,8 the European Commission launched a call for evidence on 1 April 2022 and a public consultation on 7 July 2022 with the aim of gathering views from stakeholders. The objective of this initiative is to explore the possibility of revising the framework for compulsory licensing in the EU to make it more ‘adequately prepared and coordinated to tackle future crises’.9 The authors of this position paper welcome the Commission’s attempt to reinvigorate the public discourse on this important subject.
  
  Depending on the issue to be addressed and the extent of the Commission’s willingness to reform, different regulatory approaches are conceivable. Subject to compatibility with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, these include:
  
  Rather than making concrete recommendations on the regulatory approach, this paper addresses selected aspects by way of a preliminary, non-exhaustive note on: the proposed reform’s scope and the grounds for a compulsory licence; the requirements of prior negotiation and licensing failure; government use; procedural matters; compulsory licences for patent applications and products; the relation with other regulations and sui generis regimes (i.e. trade secret protection, regulatory data protection and supplementary protection certificates); the concept of adequate remuneration; compulsory licences for European patents with unitary effect; and the exhaustion of products placed on the market under a compulsory licence.
  
  – soft law measures, such as guidelines and recommendations;
  
  – harmonisation of national laws (substantive and/or procedural);10
  
  – judicial cooperation (i.e. mutual recognition of judgments and of decisions in extrajudicial cases);11
  
  – centralisation of granting and/or judicial review competences;
  
  – creation of a supranational compulsory licence;
  
  – or any combination thereof.

Potential and Limits of Patent Law to Address Climate Change, GRUR Int 72, 9 (2023), 821 - 839 (together with Reto M. Hilty). DOI

• The challenges imposed by climate change urgently require new technologies to reduce environmental damage and make more efficient use of natural resources. Patent law is generally considered an important tool to promote innovation. The question therefore arises as to its role with regard to sustainable inventions, in particular whether there is a need for adjustments to increase its efficiency, but also concerning the interaction with other regulatory measures. This article offers a critical overview of the range of options for state intervention and distinguishes different types of market failure that need to be prevented in different ways.

• The field of antimicrobials is considered to be facing a crisis. Increasing
  microbial resistance is creating a demand for new drugs, which however is not being
  matched by privately funded R&D. The reasons for this market failure are of a
  technical and economic nature. The present article analyzes what changes to IP-
  based incentives are conceivable in the European Union (EU) in order to address the
  antimicrobial crisis. Since the assessment of the suitability of the analyzed options
  depends on interdisciplinary research, this article also proposes a research agenda to
  be considered for the implementation of public policies in this field.

Recomendaciones para una Regulación Internacional de Información sobre Secuencias Digitales (DSI) (Max Planck Institute for Innovation & Competition Discussion Paper, No. 24), 2024, 9 pp. DOI

• Mediante la Decisión 15/9, las Partes Contratantes del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica apoyan la adopción de un mecanismo multilateral para el reparto de los beneficios derivados del uso de la información sobre secuencia digital. La adopción deste mecanismo puede tener profundos impactos regulatorios, económicos y estratégicos en los países latinoamericanos. Se espera que las Partes lleguen a un acuerdo y lo aprueben a principios de noviembre de 2024 durante la COP 16. Sin embargo, todavía no hay consenso sobre el diseño concreto del mecanismo multilateral para el reparto de beneficios derivados del uso de la DSI. En particular, aunque tienen intereses comunes, los países latinoamericanos no parecen tener una estrategia común en las negociaciones. Luego de un taller de la Iniciativa Smart IP for Latin America (SIPLA) sobre el tema, académicos, usuarios y expertos de diferentes países de América Latina acordaron las recomendaciones hechas en este documento.
• Through Decision 15/9, the Contracting Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) support the adoption of a multilateral mechanism for the sharing of benefits arising from the use of digital sequence information (DSI). Among other aspects, this mechanism must (i) be efficient, feasible, practical, effective, and consistent with open access to data, (ii) generate more benefits than costs, and (iii) provide legal certainty and clarity for providers and users. The adoption of this mechanism could have profound regulatory, economic, and strategic impacts on Latin American countries. It is expected that the Parties will reach an agreement and approve it in early November 2024 during COP 16. However, there is still no consensus on the specific design of the multilateral mechanism for benefit-sharing derived from the use of DSI. In particular, although they have common interests, Latin American countries do not seem to have a unified strategy in the negotiations. After a fruitful and successful workshop by the SIPLA Initiative on this topic, academics, users, and experts from different Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Paraguay, and Peru, agreed on the recommendations made in this document.

Proposal for a Global Regulation of Digital Sequence Information (Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition Research Paper, No. 24-10 ), 2024, 30 pp.

• The increasing use of information on digital genetic sequences (digital sequence information-DSI) in biotechnological products and services rekindles discussions about the effective protection of rights over of genetic resources within the scope of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nagoya Protocol (NP). After a long controversy, the United Nations Environment Programme is moving towards adopting a multilateral mechanism for sharing benefits that arise from the use of DSI. However, an agreement by the Contracting Parties on its concrete design still seems to be distant. This article presents reasons for this development at the international level and proposes a model for the global regulation of DSI that not only combines efficient procedures with the objectives of the CBD and the NP, but also allows integration with multilateral mechanisms of other international treaties.

Distinctive Signs for Collective Use in Latin America: Development Promotion by Valuing Origin and Quality (Max Planck Institute for Innovation & Competition Research Paper, 22-15), 2022, 131 pp. (together with Roxana Carmen Blasetti, Suelen Carls). DOI

• Origin-based production, including manufacturing, handicraft, and especially food production in Latin American countries, is essential to their economies. Quality differentiation systems such as geographical indications, designations of origin, collective and certification marks, and quality labels, among others, can play a dual role in the economic and social development of the region and in adding value to their products with the consequent impact on trade. However, those systems are quite particular to each country due to multiple realities. Therefore, it is challenging to promote integration, harmonisation, and /or cooperation within the region. Therefore, this paper aims to offer a comprehensive legal comparative understanding of how those systems work in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay to back up further research, law, and policy-making on this field. The outcome indicates potential ways forward, targeting especially (a) the potential of a regional system of mutual recognition of the protection granted at the national level and (b) the improvement of the system at the domestic level, according to each country's reality and producer's needs.

• La producción desarrollada localmente, incluyendo la manufactura, la artesanía y especialmente la producción de alimentos en los países latinoamericanos, es esencial para sus economías. Los sistemas de diferenciación de la calidad, como las indicaciones geográficas, las denominaciones de origen, las marcas colectivas y de certificación, y los sellos de calidad, entre otros, pueden desempeñar un doble papel, tanto para el desarrollo económico y social de la región como para añadir valor a sus productos con el consiguiente impacto en el comercio. Sin embargo, estos sistemas tienen particularidades en cada país debido a las múltiples realidades existentes. Es por ello que constituye un desafío promover a integración, la armonización y/o la cooperación al interior de la región. Es en este sentido que el presente documento ofrece un estudio comparado de las reglas jurídicas vigentes y de cómo funcionan estos sistemas en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay para respaldar la investigación y la elaboración de leyes y políticas públicas en la materia. El resultado indica las posibles vías de avance, centrándose especialmente (a) en el potencial de un sistema regional de reconocimiento mutuo de la protección dada a nivel nacional (b) en la mejora del sistema a nivel nacional, según la realidad de cada país y las necesidades de los productores.

Position Statement of 5 July 2022 on the Decision of the WTO Ministerial Conference on the TRIPS Agreement adopted on 17 June 2022, 2022, 8 pp. (together with Reto M. Hilty et al.).

• On 17 June 2022, after nearly one and a half years of intense debate concerning the proposal to waive IP protection in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization adopted a decision on the TRIPS Agreement. It has not waived any intellectual property rights as such but instead mainly clarified the application of the existing TRIPS flexibilities, in particular, regarding compulsory licensing of patents. The Position Statement shows that the Ministerial Decision makes no substantive difference in the existing international legal framework, except for lifting the limitation on the exportation of vaccines manufactured in accordance with the Decision. To the extent that the Decision can make the application of TRIPS flexibilities more expedient, it is to be welcomed. At the same time, it is argued that such facilitating effect should not be limited to, or justified by, the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. More critically, it should not be restricted to COVID-19 vaccines, of which there is currently no shortage – rather, the same level of TRIPS flexibilities should apply to all medicinal products needed to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.

Covid-19 and the Role of Intellectual Property - Position Statement of the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition of 7 May 2021, 2021, 11 pp. (together with Reto M. Hilty et al.).

• In this Statement, the authors take a position on the waiver of intellectual property (IP) protection currently being considered by the members of the World Trade Organisation. The waiver was initiated by India and South Africa as a measure to enable rapid access to affordable medical products that are necessary to combat Covid-19. The initiative gained momentum after the US decided to support it. The authors do not consider this path to be expedient. The Statement presents factual and legal arguments why a comprehensive waiver of IP protection is unlikely to be a necessary and suitable measure towards the pursued objective. Overall, it argues that IP rights may so far have played an enabling and facilitating rather than hindering role in overcoming Covid-19. The global community might not be better off if IP rights are waived, neither during nor after the pandemic. There are more efficient and direct ways to supply developing countries with vaccines quickly – if the industrialised countries are willing to do their share.
