Plants

This Book comes as a watershed of the work in IBSAR on the indigenous plants of Lebanon, where teams of IBSAR researchers have deployed their efforts in learning about local plants and their traditional use as a basis for valorizing them.

Presents the plenary papers and proceedings of a workshop which addressed such topics as goals of inventors, owners, and users; implications of non-U.S. protection, procedures, and practices for U.S. innovators; the status of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection; science-based identification of plant genetic materials; and national legislative issues.
