An agricultural biotechnology company learns of a plant with unique traits from the indigenous community of the biodiversity-rich country. After discovering the plant's traits have commercial application in developed countries, the company acquires samples of it and returns to their country. The company isolates and purifies the gene encoding the desirable characteristics and applies for a biological patent. The company introduces patented and trademarked products incorporating the gene into the market, and the company profits. None of the money is returned to the original indigenous peoples because the c ...

The concept of biopiracy assumes that it is a natural right to own plants, animals and human genes. For many indigenous people, nature and culture are indissociable. Resources belong to the community, private property has no meaning. They argue that what is "wrong" is not so much the appropriation of somebody else's property, but rather the idea that natural resources, which should stay public, can be privatized. In the United States, the patent law has long protected the ability to protect "isolated and purified" compounds. In 1873, ...

Philosophy of religion - Positions. The second question, "Do we have any good reason to think that God does (or does not) exists?", is equally important in the philosophy of religion. There are four main positions with regard to the existence of God that one might take: Theism - the belief that God exists. Weak atheism - the lack of belief in any deity. Strong atheism - the belief that no deity exist ...

The first significant poet of the independent United States was William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878), whose great contribution was to write rhapsodic poems on the grandeur of prairies and forests. Other notable poets to emerge in the early and middle 19th century include Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882), John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892), Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–1894), Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), James Russell Lowell (1819–1891), and Sidney Lanier (18 ...

The criterion for protection of a work under French copyright law is that it be an oeuvre d'esprit, a work of the mind (Art. L112-1). Hence there must be a human intellectual contribution to the work. A list of types of work which are protected is given in Art. L112-2: this list (taken from the Berne Convention) is not limitative. The copyright protection of computer programs was, and to some extent still is, the subject of much debate in France. The legal position was resolved by the transposition of EU Directive of 1991-05-14 ...

The final emergence of a truly indigenous English-language poetry in the United States was the work of two poets, Walt Whitman (1819–1892) and Emily Dickinson (1830–1886). On the surface, these two poets could not have been less alike. Whitman's long lines, derived from the metric of the King James Version of the Bible, and his democratic inclusiveness stand in stark contrast with Dickinson's concentrated phrases and short lines and stanzas, derived from Protestant hymnals. What links them is their common connection to Emerson (a blurb f ...

List of dependent territories - France. French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion are departments (first-order administrative units) of France, and are therefore not dependencies or areas of special sovereignty, similar to how the island state of Hawaii is a first-order political unit of the United States. The Department of Guadeloupe includes the nearby islands of Marie-Galante, La Desirade, and Iles des Saintes, as well as Saint Barthelemy and the northern three-fifths of Sa ...

The unanimous ruling of the Court was given by Justice O'Connor. In this she examines the purpose of copyright and proposes a new standard for subsistance of copyright based on originality. It is a long-standing principle of United States copyright law that "information" is not copyrightable, O'Connor notes, but "collections" of information can be. Rural claimed a collection copyright in its directory. The court clarified that the intent of copyright law was not, as claimed by Rural and some lower courts, to reward the efforts of pers ...

Attempts to unite the disparate nations of Europe precede the modern nation states; they have occurred repeatedly throughout the history of Europe.

Rural Telephone Service Company, Inc. was a telephone provider for areas in north-west Kansas. The company was under a statutory obligation to compile a phone directory of all their customers free of charge as condition to their monopoly franchise. Feist Publications, Inc. specialized in compiling telephone directories from larger geographic areas than Rural. They had licenced the directory of 11 other local directories with Rural being the only hold-out in the region. Feist went ahead and copied some 4000 entries from Rural's directory. Rural, however, ha ...

If considered a single unit, the European Union has the largest economy in the world with a 2004 GDP of 11,723,816 million USD using PPP equivalence. The EU economy is expected to grow further over the next decade as more countries join the union - especially considering that the new states are usually poorer than the EU average, and have the capacity to grow at a high rate. However, it is estimated that the eurozone will only grow around 0.3 per cent (Q2 2005) 1, while other industrialised nations will grow faster, such as the United States ...

One might think that philosophy of religion would be an inquiry into the foundations of religions (as Philosophy X is typically an inquiry into the foundations of X). However, philosophy of religion is predominantly an inquiry into the nature of God and religious belief (not religions per se). Thus, two of the main questions in the field are: What is God? Are there any good reasons to think that God does or does not exist? Still, there are other questions studied in the philosophy of r ...
