[free-software-melb] 'There Is No Human Right To Patent Protection' -- UN Special Rapporteur

"There is no human right to patent protection. The right to protection of moral and material interests cannot be used to defend patent laws that inadequately respect the right to participate in cultural life, to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications, to scientific freedoms and the right to food and health and the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities." <https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151013/09390532525/there-is-no-human-right-to-patent-protection-un-special-rapporteur.shtml> Looks like an interesting report.
