Abstract
This paper is a review of legal issues in the discipline of bioinformatics. It covers the intellectual property rights (IPR) protection available to databases (together with their contents) and software. Legal problem areas that are unique to the discipline are then discussed. The paper concludes with a summary of the IPR position and recommendations that have been made for resolution of problem areas. This paper has been written and compiled by the author as a review of current legal issues in bioinformatics and is not intended to be exhaustive. If any issue referred to in the paper is to be relied on, appropriate specific professional advice should be sought.Journal of Commercial Biotechnology (2003) 9, 249–265; doi:10.1057/palgrave.jcb.3040034
