BUENOS AIRES, June 19 (Reuters) – Argentina’s government has repealed a regulation that had restricted patents for biotech developments, cabinet chief Manuel Adorni said on X on Friday.
“The measure aligns the country with international standards and will enable the attraction of investments and new technologies to the production sector, especially the agricultural one,” he said.
The change will “restore a clearer, more predictable environment compatible with the promotion of biotechnological innovation, aligned with international standards and national legislation,” according to a decree published by the economy ministry.
