Back in 1892 legislation was proposed to grant patent rights for plant inventions. This legislation was supported by many prominent individuals, even Thomas Edison who stated that "nothing that Congress could do to help farming would be of greater value and permanence than to give to the plant breeder the same status as the mechanical and chemical inventors now have through the law."  2, record 1, English, - plant%20invention

The Plant Patent Act was passed by Congress on May 13, 1930... It was the first legislation anywhere in the world to grant patent rights to plant breeders and was enacted to "afford agriculture, so far as practicable, the same opportunity to participate in the benefits of the patent system as has been given to industry, and thus assist in placing agriculture on a basis of economic equality with industry.

Bill C-9 implements a decision made on August 30, 2003, by member countries of the World Trade Organization(WTO) to waive certain trade obligations that had prevented developed countries from authorizing the export of lower-priced versions of patented medicines to least-developed and developing countries unable to manufacture their own.  2, record 2, English, - An%20Act%20to%20amend%20the%20Patent%20Act%20and%20the%20Food%20and%20Drugs%20Act

Every drug receives three distinct names : the chemical name, the generic(or nonproprietary) name, and the brand(or proprietary or trademark) name.... The generic name is commonly used by health care professionals and is usually created when a new drug is ready to be marketed. Although the manufacturer or sponsor of the drug has exclusive right of manufacture during the 17 years of the drug's patent, it never owns the generic name.... In the United States, the generic name must first be approved by the U. S. Adopted Name(USAN) Council and then by the World Health Organization(WHO).... After approving the generic name, the Council submits the name to WHO, which has final approval.... After being approved by WHO, the drug is assigned an international nonproprietary name.  6, record 3, English, - nonproprietary%20name

Once a chemical substance has become frequently cited in the literature, it will be identified with simplified nomenclature popularly known as a "generic" name. This nonproprietary name is preferred in database indexing over all other types of drug nomenclature. MEDLINE [registered trademark] cites the United States Adopted Name (USAN) as a standard, when available. USANs are officially approved designations adopted by the FDA for uniformity in labeling and regulatory references. EMBASE®, on the other hand, prefers International Nonproprietary Names (INNs), promulgated by the World Health Organization, as drug descriptors. Caution: the USAN and INN "generic" name for the same drug may differ. Other official nomenclature standards include: British Approved Name (BAN), Nordiska Farmakopenamden (NFN), and Dénomination Commune Francaise (DCF).  7, record 3, English, - nonproprietary%20name
