| Abstract: | The traditional
medicine system is gaining wider popularity in the present times leading to
increase in its commercialization at an international level. The present study
is an attempt to analyse various facets of the patent regime of metal-based
contemporary nanomedicine, with focus on Ayurvedic ‘Bhasms’ (alternative
traditional medicine) used for various disease treatments. The study proposes a
new dimension of understanding of Ayurvedic Bhasms as ethno-nanomedicine in the
surging era of nanomedicine. The study proposes to have organized open-sourcing
of the knowledge associated with Ayurvedic Bhasms, so that both, the
ethno-nanomedicine as well as the emerging metal-based nanomedicine systems can
co-exist symbiotically, thereby preventing misuse of traditional knowledge and
promoting cumulative benefit to mankind. |
