5 US PVP Applicants Data from 1971 to end of 2002

6 Biotechnology Patent Applications

7 Freedom to Operate and LDC Research Increasing number and breadth of IPRs Concerns of a lock out phenomenon Extent of exclusionary rights determined by Jurisdictional limitations on IP and the location of R&D Bilateral South-North trade patterns

8 Area Shares of Modern Varieties of Rice, Wheat, and Maize

9 Area Sown to Bioengineered Crops Worldwide

10 Bioengineered Cropping IntensitiesU.S vs Rest-of-World, 2002

11 Changing Rich Country Roles? Segmenting crop biotechnology demands Less applicable technologies for LDCs? Implications of increased private participation Beyond basic adaptive research Increasing pressures for LDC self reliance?
