Descripción
There is evidence of an increase in market concentration and in the importance
of private plant breeding in the seed industry following the widespread
adoption of Intellectual Property Rights regimes for the industry in the
developed world. We use data from the US Patent and Trademark Office, US
Plant Variety Protection Office and various European Plant Variety Protection
databases to estimate the extent of these changes in the seed corn industry.
