| Abstract: | In order to protect the interest of all stake holders of
livestock farming in India,
it is necessary to protect innovations in livestock sector through appropriate
IP instruments along with conservation and sustainable use of native livestock
breeds and associated traditional knowledge through sui generis system in the modern IPR regime. The
unique attributes of indigenous livestock breeds could be exploited for profits
by getting some form of intellectual property rights (IPR) or protection. An
appropriate internationally accepted legal system with respect to use of
livestock biodiversity and patenting of novel genes may bring about economic
benefit to the livestock keepers in the IPR regime through benefit sharing.
Harmonization of IP regimes, access to technologies required for
biotechnological research and development through easy licensing and/or patent
exemptions especially for public benefit oriented research would pave way for
making private investments and private-public participation attractive. Present
status of IPR protection in livestock sector in India and future prospects considering the typical livestock production
situation existing in the country are analysed. |
