Karl Ereky, a Hungarian agricultural engineer, really came up with the term "biotechnology" at the beginning of the 20th century. He defined it as a field of technology that encompasses all activities used to generate goods from raw materials using living organisms. Due to different interpretations, the definition of biotechnology subsequently became more and more ambiguous throughout time. It is also now believed that the first official broad definition provided by the US Office of Technology Assessment, which states that "biotechnology, broadly defined, includes any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific uses," is no longer valid. The phrase "biotechnology" broadly refers to methods used on living things and its components to create, discover, or develop substances or to alter living things for particular purposes. Since biotechnology is highly interdisciplinary and encompasses almost all branches of science, there are likely many different definitions of it. To put it another way, biotechnology combines fields like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, and cell biology, which are connected to more practical fields like chemical engineering, information technology, and robotics. 1
India has the 12th place in the world for biotechnology. The biotechnology sector demands a sizable intellectual investment in the form of research and development. Knowing the IPR rights associated in it is crucial. Research into stem cells, embryology, and cell biology, bioremediation (an engineering method used by humans to clean the environment), and biodegradation (a natural process that happens in the environment), among other recent fields, all benefit greatly from modern biotechnology. The use of biology, and particularly the genetic engineering of microbes, to the creation of antibiotics, hormones, and other valuable chemicals is known as biotechnology. Animals and plants are not the same as microorganisms. They are extremely small living creatures that are employed in biotechnology as a medium and are invisible to the human eye. such as fungus, protists, archaea, and bacteria.
The question now is whether anything created or discovered utilising microbes qualifies as an innovation. Can it be safeguarded by applicable IPR laws? Or can you patent any creation that involves a live thing? How are biotechnological inventions handled under IPR law?
