Legal Aspects of Nanobiotechnology Inventions: An
Indian Perspective
Kanika Sharma andArchana Chugh
Abstract
Nanobiotechnology results from the convergence of nanotechnology and
biotechnology. It has a remarkable potential to abate problems and provide efficient
solutions related to medicine, the environment, agriculture etc. Nanobiotechnology
applications have had a remarkable global impact, especially in European countries
and the United States of America. In India, the field holds immense importance
particularly in the nanomedicine sector. The arrival of nanobiotechnology in India
has raised a series of questions and challenges in terms of intellectual property
protection. Therefore, it is of immense significance to analyse critically whether the
Indian patent regime provides a proper environment for suitable intellectual property
protection and commercialisation of nanobiotechnology in India.
