The Patent Wars

"Knowledge is a resource - just like petroleum"

Did you know that you can patent colours, numbers, plants and animals – and that 20% of your genes are patented and owned by private corporations? In a creative investigation, filmmaker Hannah Leonie Prinzler uncovers who profits from intellectual property, and who bears the economic and social consequences.
