This paper consists of an identification and analysis of the place of, and role of ethics play, in the various patent systems currently in force in Europe. As for the rapid evolution of biotechnology advances, it is significant to observe the response from legislators and the measures put in place to address the further issues. Contemporaneously, this work aims to act as a commentary on the relationship of biotechnology with intellectual property rights, and on the role played in this respect by law.
