Biodiversity: assisting you in achieving compliance

Are you an academic researcher or a company specialising in agri-food, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, seeds, cosmetics, etc.? Do you handle or have you received genetic or biochemical resources from an animal, a plant or a micro-organism?

Then you may have to comply with the requirements of legal or regulatory provisions applicable in certain countries with regard to access and benefit-sharing (ABS), for the use of this type of resource. If so, the issuance of your IP rights may be affected locally by these provisions. 

Our team can provide you with information on the scope of these laws and advise you, if necessary, on the steps to be taken. It can also refer your questions to the relevant focal point(s) of the country or countries you are interested in.

Regimbeau regularly publishes articles on this complex subject and organises training courses and events on this topic, in Paris and other regions.
