- 202305 ABS Contract Negotiation Tool V3.pdf [ English ]
The purpose of this publication is to provide a practical tool to guide parties that may be involved in or preparing to enter into an ABS contract. This tool is the response to numerous requests to provide a ready-made set of generic templates of ABS contracts that can serve any country and any user, including right-holders on both the provider and user side of an ABS transaction. It is impossible, however, to design a standard contract that will suit every ABS-related contractual situation. It is important to keep in mind that each ABS situation or transaction has its own particular circumstances and specificities. Different types of users and sectors use genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in specific ways and for various purposes. While some elements of an ABS contract may be standardised, others need to be handled flexibly and be adapted on a case by case basis in light of the legal and factual context.
