BIOTECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN INDIA: LEGAL FRAMEWORK, CHALLENGES AND EMERGING JURISPRUDENCE Anandhi A, LLM(IPR), Government law college, Trichy (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.107 This article examines the evolving relationship between biotechnology and intellectual property rights (IPRs) in India, highlighting legal, ethical, and global perspectives. It traces the development of Indian patent law from the exclusion of living organisms to the recognition of biotechnological inventions, shaped significantly by cases like Dimminaco AG v. Controller of Patents and amendments aligning with the TRIPS Agreement. The study explores patent eligibility criteria under the Patents Act, 1970, with emphasis on exclusions under Section 3, and the challenges of proving novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability in biotechnology. It compares approaches in the United States, European Union, and India, analyzing judicial interpretations and ethical frameworks concerning patents on microorganisms, plants, animals, and human genetic material. While U.S. and European systems adopt broader protection, India maintains stricter exclusions influenced by cultural and moral values. The article also discusses emerging issues such as gene editing, AI-driven biotechnology, green biomanufacturing, and personalized medicine, underlining their legal and ethical implications. It concludes that while biotechnology patents are essential for innovation and societal benefit, they must coexist with ethical safeguards and balanced regulation to ensure progress without compromising human dignity, environmental sustainability, or traditional values.

AI ETHICS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE-THE IMPERATIVE FOR RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION Mayank Khichar, Student at National Academy of Legal Studies And Research (NALSAR) University, Hyderabad. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT This research article examines the crucial need for responsible innovation in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics and legal compliance. The increasing proliferation of AI-based technologies has raised significant ethical concerns, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and transparency. These ethical issues are further compounded by the rapidly evolving legal landscape governing AI, which lacks a standardized framework for regulation. The article argues that responsible innovation is essential to ensure that AI technologies are developed and implemented ethically and in compliance with legal standards. It provides a comprehensive overview of the ethical and legal challenges associated with AI innovation, as well as the best practices and guidelines for responsible innovation. The article also highlights the importance of collaboration between stakeholders, including policymakers, technologists, and civil society organizations, to promote responsible innovation and ensure that AI technologies are developed and used in a manner that aligns with societal values and legal requirements. Finally, the article concludes by emphasizing the imperative of responsible innovation as a key factor in promoting public trust and acceptance of AI technologies. It calls for a concerted effort by all stakeholders to work together to address the ethical and legal challenges associated with AI and ensure that AI innovation is responsible and beneficial for all.
