ABSTRACT
This article discusses biotechnology, a subject that causes significant intellectual property issues for courts and legislatures. In recent years, biotechnology research has expanded significantly. Animal cloning, genetic projects, and other important developments have taken place. This paper examines various facets of intellectual property as well as how technology and the law interact. The article, unfortunately, only discusses patents, leaving out copyright, trademarks, and many other kinds of protection. It is analysed how judges and courts address crucial problems including innovation, commercial applicability, and non-obviousness, which receives the greatest attention.
Keywords: Biotechnology, patents, novelty, non-obviousness, inventive step, indefiniteness.
