RatioEp. 19 - The Ocean, Patents and Pandemics: Where science, law, and economics meetThis episode explores the role of patent law in our interconnected world. Professor Susan Marks and Dr Siva Thambisetty discuss Siva's work ranging from taking part in treaty negotiations for The BBNJ Agreement to her efforts during the COVID-19 Pandemic to help secure greater access to vaccines which would otherwise be hindered through patent law. The final part of this episode features Siva's critique of the 'routinised use of equity' as a fallback mechanism during treaty negotiations and how the reliance on 'equity' in this context may not actually do much to procure equitable outcomes.This episode...2025-06-1059 min

Public Lectures from the Faculty of Law, University of CambridgeLCIL Friday Lecture: 'Elephants not in the room: Decoupling, dematerialisation and dis-enclosure in the making of the BBNJ Treaty' - Dr Siva Thambisetty, LSELecture summary: This lecture examines the treatment of marine genetic resources (MGR) in the negotiations and the text of the new Treaty on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ). The Treaty provides a coherent governance framework for MGR including an unexpected techno-fix to the most longstanding problem of biodiversity governance, some normative novelty on principles, and a trendsetting approach to valuation of aggregate usage of genetic resources. Yet, this painstakingly formed framework continues to be buffeted by self-interested attempts to redefine and relitigate the value of genetic resources; particularly around decoupling use from access to genetic resources, dematerialisation from physical...2024-04-1144 min
