It explores the historical roots of patents, and the intense conflicts patents have generated as a result of the implementation of the Trade related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) of W.T.O. Finally, using the case of Neem and Basmati, the paper details how biopiracy, the piracy and patenting of knowledge and biodiversity from the South, is an inevitable consequences of the dominant IPR system, and how people's movements are resisting and challenging patents, and winning against the biggest corporations and most powerful governments of the world.
