Intellectual property rights in synthetic biology: an anti-thesis to open access to research?

Abstract: Synthetic Biology is a surging area of contemporary life science based research that is rapidly evolving by virtue of its multidisciplinary composition and applications. Biology never before has seen such a gold rush and demonstrated potential for knowledge based economy. The area of synthetic biology is in a nascent and tender stage, however issues pertaining to open access to research versus the monopolistic intellectual property regime (specifically patents) have already started raising concerns in the emer… Show more

“…From the study and given the rapidly evolving situation, it would be relevant for government to bring clear guidelines and regulations on biosafety and biosecurity concerns emerging from synthetic biology research in the country. Recommendations proposed in a recent paper on this issue are noteworthy [22,23]. Some of the key points made in this important paper were: (a) making public aware of the potential use of Synthetic Biology (b) developing stringent regulations for accessing the synthetic bio-components and products (c) evolving the existing legal framework to incorporate additional security and safety concerns emerging from synthetic biology research while balancing social interests (d) development and enforcement of stringent risk assessment and containment protocols to avoid hazards (e) involving all the stakeholders e.g., government, funding organizations, scientific community and public interest groups to evolve a national consensus…”

“…A pesar de los llamados a no regular la biología sintética sólo a nivel nacional, sino impulsar un marco internacional donde las decisiones sean tomadas a partir de la participación de la sociedad civil y los movimientos sociales con lo que respecta a su orientación, la disciplina representa una arma de doble filo, primero se requiere crear normativas que orienten los esfuerzos para una utilización responsable de los conocimientos que no sea una regulación prohibitiva ante la posibilidad de acrecentar las brechas y desigualdades tecnológicas con otros países, pero a la par que permita el uso de los conocimientos bajo un marco que no implementé muchas restricciones a la vez, que limite su desarrollo y potencial en el país ( Jaimes et al, 2010;Paz, 2019;Saukshmaya y Chung, 2011).…”

“…Los retos que se le presentan al Estado mexicano para el desarrollo de un marco de bioseguridad que sea innovador, con fines socialmente deseables así como aceptados y que oriente el desarrollo de la biología sintética poniendo límites adecuados desde las primeras fases por los posibles usos y abusos en la investigación, facilitando el acceso y uso de los recursos genéticos sin renunciar a su control y monitoreando su apropiación indebida sin imponer trabas burocráticas a los investigadores, el primero tiene que ver con la apertura al debate y la participación de nuevos actores sobre las opciones de gobernanza para regular el uso malintencionado de las herramientas y conocimientos, que permita una discusión amplia donde se comenten los avances tecnológicos, los beneficios y afectaciones de su adopción para el país, se equilibren los riesgos potenciales a la biodiversidad y ponga en cuestionamiento la realización de algunos experimentos por su peligrosidad y alcance (Romeo, 2010;Ruiz, 2011;Saukshmaya y Chung, 2011;Trump, 2017;Zwanenberg, 2013).…”
