Introduction
A scientific Discovery is like: falling in love or
reaching the top of a mountain after a hard climb all in
one or an ecstacy induced not by drugs but by the
manifestation of a face of nature that no one has seen
before. Today’s scientific and technological world is
stressing on the importance of protecting our scientific
discoveries with implementation of solid Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR) in a tight maze of patents.
Several resolved and unresolved IPR issues in this
context come into the picture. Some of these issues
include tug-of-war for patentship between the Celera
Genomics Corp., a private company, and the US National
Institutes of Health for the multibillion-dollar
international effort of mapping the human genome; the
Winterboers and the Asgrow Seed Company in Michigan in
1990 over the soybean seed varieties, and so on. This is
definitely an indication that many bruising IPR battles
lie ahead in the area of ‘biotechnology’. The solution
lies in laying down definite, clear-cut, and open
guidelines for the innovations.
