An exploratory study investigating the impacts of the strengthening of intellectual property rights on the Mexican maize breeding industry.
This exploratory study attempts to identify the impacts of the strengthening of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) on the Mexican maize breeding industry through empirical research performed with Mexican maize breeders. Increased diffusion of protected matters, new domestic institutional arrangements and exercise of negotiation power at the international level are presented as potential methods to increase the benefits from stronger IPR accruing to developing countries.
