The Social Life of Royalties: Plant intellectual property in Australia

该项目旨在研究澳大利亚专利和受植物品种保护的作物品种的终点版税制度的发展，其中版税是根据收获来计算的。在追踪权利金制度的变化过程中，该项目将深入了解新兴的植物调节模式如何影响澳大利亚谷物和水果生产的社会、经济和法律关系。该项目的预期成果包括加深对采用新版税安排所带来的机遇和挑战的理解。这将带来重大的好处，例如更公平地管理知识产权和确定能够改善粮食生产的社会安排。

This project aims to examine the development of a system of end point royalties for patent and plant variety-protected crop varieties in Australia, wherein royalties are calculated on the harvest. In tracking shifts in the royalty system, the project will provide insight into how emerging modes of plant regulation shape the social, economic, and legal relations of Australian grain and fruit production. Expected outcomes of the project include enhanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges that have arisen in the adoption of new royalty arrangements. This should provide significant benefits, such as more equitable management of intellectual property and the identification of social arrangements that can improve food production.
