ABSTRACT
The chapter presented by Dr Nuno Pires de Carvalho (Chapter 18; see also Carvalho, 2005) is quite remarkable in its scope, depth, breadth and compassion on this complex and challenging issue. In reading this chapter and listening to Dr Carvalho, I found elements of the chapters by Peter Raven (Chapter 2), Ursula Goodenough (Chapter 3), Michael Balick (Chapter 19), and the presentations of John Hunter and Chris Jones, Maui Solomon, Metro Leach and Alejandro Argumedo (see https://law.wustl.edu/centeris/index.asp?id=1772" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://law.wustl.edu/centeris/index.asp?id=1772). This is most notable because, Dr Carvalho is a lawyer working at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and all the other people mentioned with the exception of Mr Solomon are biologists or social scientists. Here, we see an illustration of the concept of ‘trialogue’ (see Chapter 1) in action.
