Biography
College of Charleston - International Studies
Attorney at Law
Jason F.
Taylor
Charleston, South Carolina
My legal practice concentrates in the area of criminal defense and civil litigation, including personal injury and family law. My practice in these areas has been before State and Federal trial courts. I enjoy litigation and the challenges that come with it; however, most of all, I enjoy helping clients make good decisions based on the legal issues confronting them.

“Misappropriation of Shuar Traditional Knowledge and Trade Secrets: A Case Study on Biopiracy in the Amazon”
Journal of Technology Law & Policy (15 J. Tech. L. & Pol'y 9)
Where the murkiness of biopiracy as a general matter leaves little room for legal theory to anchor, the relative clarity of specific instances of biopiracy may provide sufficient factual information from which to develop appropriate legal theories. In particular, the way biopiracy has been used to misappropriate the traditional knowledge (TK) of the Shuar Nation of Ecuador suggests that there may be legal theories for which the process of misappropriation may give rise to liability under international law as well as under developments in the domestic laws of the United States and Ecuador. The possible efficacy and legal coherence of any such theory are dependent upon an understanding of the background of the problem of biopiracy, the general and specific methods used by biopirates, and a clarification of the nature of the interests in question as misappropriated property.
