Abstract

Plastic, a versatile material derived from synthetic compounds, is widely employed globally due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of production. However, its improper disposal poses significant environmental threats. Despite concerted efforts, the indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste persists in the country's land and water environments. This study aims to comprehensively explore the legal guidelines and socio-economic initiatives relevant to plastic waste regulation, drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful model. Three hundred and ten questionnaires were also distributed among residents of Nigeria to achieve this objective. The data collected underwent thorough analysis, employing both descriptive and analytical methods. In this context, Singapore stands out as an exemplary model for Nigeria to emulate in addressing the challenges posed by plastic waste. Drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful strategies, It is imperative to meticulously regulate every stage, from production to disposal, to ensure environmental sustainability and minimize the detrimental impact of plastic pollution. The study found the need for more legislative measures in Nigeria to combat the pervasive problem of indiscriminate plastic waste disposal effectively. Also, The government should establish irresponsible plastic waste disposal's environmental and health risks and dumping of plastic waste.

Abstract

Phage-based therapeutics offer a promising solution to the growing global threat of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, the patentability of these biologics faces significant legal problems due to varying international standards and the challenge of distinguishing naturally occurring phages from patentable inventions. This legal uncertainty hampers innovation, investment, and the global development of phage therapies. This study therefore examines global laws regarding the patentability of phage-based therapeutics and the existing legal gap. The doctrinal approach, which is widely used, relies heavily on primary and secondary materials. The research analysis found that phage-based therapeutics are considered an invention for biomedical use as an alternative to antibiotic-resistant diseases; however, there are inconsistencies in how jurisdictions treat phage patent applications. In this regard, the international laws that ought to harmonise and close this loophole seem inadequate. Furthermore, the study observes that existing international laws do not specifically address phage-based therapeutic inventions. Also, the criteria for obtaining a patent under international law seem complex, as member states are the final decision-making bodies for granting patents, including for phage-based therapeutic inventions. The study, therefore, concludes that establishing clear legal frameworks and harmonising international standards would require a great deal of time to achieve phage protection while also pursuing public health goals. This will, in turn, result in regulatory support that would ensure finding a fine balance between obtaining a patent and therapeutic accessibility.
