Seminar “Patent Toxicity” at the Department of Economic Policy, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Elisa Giuliani presents her co-authored paper “Patent Toxicity”, which assesses the potential toxicity of chemical patents.
The paper is available as a LEM Working Paper: http://www.lem.sssup.it/WPLem/files/2020-33.pdf
The paper suggests that “because there is significant global fragmentation and ambiguity in the way toxic chemicals are used, traded and regulated, … there is a need for more transparency about where, when and by whom toxic chemicals are invented (or their property rights are protected) and consider that this is urgent to predict future hazards and to contribute to policy making in this area.”
