Abstract: The intellectual property rights (IPR) and biodiversity are the two distinct terms and hence their historical development is complex. In general, IPR is the legal means to protect and promote the development of innovations, including new plant varieties and life forms. In the recent times, the expansion of IPR in the field of biotechnology has also raised concerns about the potential impacts on biodiversity, as patents and other forms of IPR can limit access to genetic resources and restrict their use in future research and development. In view of globalization India is witnessing significant development of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in the area of Bio-diversity and Biotechnology.
