520			_aThe author discusses how IPR can be a dividing factor for both developing and developed nations today. According to her, the correlation of IPR protection with trade-related matters continues to be one burning issues primarily because developing countries need more concessions in the IPR system of developed nations for the former to gain access to the latter's technologies. Further, detailed the changing definition of what constitutes patentable inventions and the evolution of patent laws in the US, Mexico, and the Philippines. She explained that US jurisprudence is rich in microorganism or life form patenting. She also discussed briefly the Budafest treaty which authorizes deposits of microorganisms in authorized depositories in member countries. She suggested that the policy proposal on IPR should be drawn up from discussions of a multisectoral group made up of representatives from the local scientific community and the business sector
