Abstract
The UK's Gaia Foundation was recently approached by a Namibian NGO seeking advice on how best to protect current and potential uses of a local plant. The more they looked into it, the more absurd the idea of patents became. At present, patents are predominantly national rights, so a US patent is only valid against infringing conduct in the US. To obtain maximum protection patents would need to be taken out to cover a wide range of potential uses and in as many countries as possible.
