PT-e4 Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2005 Should There Be an Obligation of Disclosure of Origin of Genetic Resources in Patent Applications? - Learning Lessons from Developing Countries Graeme Laurie Abstract In the lead-up to two meetings in June 2005 which will address the question of whether there should be an obligation of disclosure of origin of genetic resources in patent applications, this paper uses the on-going international policy debate in this area as a platform both to make some specific observations about this particular issue, and to offer some comments on the broader question which it raises of how the intellectual property world integrates with other legal and ethical regimes.
