The authors argue that novel beneficial traits in agricultural microbes represent inventive steps of nature, but the inability of patent laws to reward nonhuman inventors has led to conflicts over microbial ownership rights and presents barriers to the sharing of benefits.

Don't miss the new article by David Kothamasi, Saskia Vermeylen & Sharma Deepika in Nature Biotechnology. It discusses the patenting of agricultural microbes and the recognition of nature's intellectual property rights to foster equitable benefit sharing rdcu.be/doqdA
