The Evolving Framework Of Biotechnology Law: A Global Regulatory Perspective




Saisha Sinha, LLM, Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University


ABSTRACT


Biotechnology represents one of the most dynamic and transformative domains of modern science, influencing health, agriculture, environment, and industry. Its integration with law has created a complex regulatory landscape involving patentability, ethical governance, biosafety, and international compliance. This paper examines the evolving framework of biotechnology laws through legal research, case analysis, and policy evaluation. By analysing landmark judgments like Diamond v. Chakrabarty and Monsanto Technology LLC v. Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd., it highlights the challenges in balancing innovation with public welfare, intellectual property rights, and ethical constraints. The paper concludes with recommendations for harmonized global regulations and sustainable legal development.


Keywords: Biotechnology Law, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Biotechnology, Bioethics and Genetic Privacy, Regulation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), Patentability of Life Forms.
