MICROALGAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: ETHICS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Mikroalgal biyoteknoloji hızla gelişen özgün bir alandır ve teknolojinin pek çok alanında adından söz ettirmektedir. Mikroalgal biyoteknolojinin yaygınlaşmasıyla beraber pazarda yerini alan ürün ve hizmetlerin yanı sıra mikroalgal üretimlerde fikri mülkiyet haklarından da bahsedilmeye başlanmıştır. Mikroalgal biyoteknolojinin gelişmesi için yeni fırsatlar var olsa da; olası zorluklar ve etik konuları ile alakalı araştırmaların yaygınlaştırılması ve yasal düzenlemelere tabii tutulmasıyla daha güvenli ve sürdürülebilir üretim yöntemleri ile güvenilir ürünlerin ortaya çıkacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle hazırlanan bu çalışmada mikroalgal biyoteknolojinin fikri mülkiyet hakları ile ilişkisi incelenmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir

MİKROALGAL BİYOTEKNOLOJİ: ETİK VE FİKRİ MÜKLİYET HAKLARI

Microalgal biotechnology is a novel developing area which is persistent in most of the technological divisions. With the spread in microalgal biotechnology, there has been a peak in the number of products and services which has led to a new understanding covering the Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). IPRs are the legal rights of the developer to hold and protect the defined product or service. With the recent developments in microalgal biotechnology, a new understanding should be adopted in terms of covering the opportunities, threads, legal rights and ethical issues to benefit from more realistic, secure and sustainable production technologies and reliable products. Thus this study aims to display the relation of microalgal biotechnology with IPRs

Keywords:
