SUMMARY:Exhibit: Medicinal Plants & Plant Patents: An Exhibit Exploring Medicinal Plants and Their Intersection with Plant Patents
DESCRIPTION:Plants surround us in our daily lives. We appreciate them for a 
 multitude of reasons\, including beauty\, food\, air purification\, erosion 
 control\, carbon capture and...health benefits.\n\n"Medicinal Plants & 
 Plant Patents" highlights 15 patented plant varieties which include 
 medicinal attributes. Browse the selected images and related patents. Learn 
 about the medicine these plants generously offer us. Explore the 
 intersection of the natural world and intellectual property.\n\nWhile plant 
 patent advocates laud how the system encourages research and innovation\, 
 critics of the system raise issues of accessibility and\, in the case of 
 medicinal plants\, the responsibility to honor the history of traditional 
 and cultural knowledge. This exhibit brings the tension of these values 
 into relief.\n\nWe invite you to also visit The Herb Library on Floor 3 of 
 SEL.\n\nThe exhibit runs September 7-December 19 during regular SEL 
 hours:\nMonday-Thursday\, 8 a.m.-10 p.m.\nFriday\, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.\nSunday\, 
 11 a.m.-10 p.m.\n
