understood that in most circumstances, it is not
possible to copyright a recipe

for bread, when we’re talking about bread, flour,
water and yeast?
This is where the sometimes puzzling idea
of food patents come in
Recipe or Invention..!

23. “Foods produced by combining traditional
ingredients and using standard cooking or
preparation techniques are unlikely to meet these
requirements, but innovations in food technology
often result in products that qualify as patentable
inventions”

33.  Term of the patent is 20 years from the
date of filling for all types of inventions.
 Priority date- first to file
 The date of patent is the date of filing the

for the same invention.
 The refusal of the patent in one country does not
mean that it will be terminated in all the countries

36.  The list of top 10 patents holders in India
comprises only pharmaceutical and bio-tech
companies.
 In India, 184 patents are held by the Council of
Scientific and Industrial Research, followed by

43. BIOPROSPECTING
• Bioprospecting is an umbrella term
describing the process of discovery and
commercialization of new products based
on biological resources. Bioprospecting often
draws on indigenous knowledge about uses
and characteristics of plants and animals.

44. BIOPIRACY
• Biopiracy is a situation where indigenous
knowledge of nature, originating with indigenous
peoples, is used by others for profit, without

people themselves.

• The Neem Tree
• The Enola Bean
• Turmeric
• Basmati Rice

48. BASMATI
CASE
STUDY
48
In late 1997, an American
company RiceTec Inc, was
granted a patent by the US
patent office to call the
aromatic rice grown outside
India 'Basmati'.
RiceTec Inc, had been trying
to enter the international
Basmati market with brands
like 'Kasmati' and 'Texmati'
described as Basmati-type rice
with minimal success.
BASMATI CASE STUDY

49. BASMATI CASE STUDY
However, with the Basmati
patent rights, RiceTec will now
be able to not only call its
aromatic rice Basmati within
the US, but also label it
Basmati for its exports.)
India and Pakistan will not only
lose out on the 45,000 tonne
US import market, which
forms 10 percent of the total
Basmati exports.

Patent Biopiracy

51. Issue of a Patent
• A U.S. patent (no.5,401,504)
on turmeric was awarded to
the University of Mississippi
Medical Centre, in May 1995,
specifically for the “Use of
turmeric in wound healing.”

52. Awaken to Intellectual property
right
• The patent was promptly
challenged by Dr. R. A.
Mashelkar, as Indian
scientist who has done
much to awaken India to
intellectual property rights
issues.
Director general of Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research (CSIR)
(1995-2006)

53. • In India where turmeric has been used medicinally
for thousands of years, concerns grew about the
economically and socially damaging impact of this
legal biopiracy.
• CSIR argues that turmeric has been used for
thousands of years for healing wounds and rashes
and thus its medicinal use was not a novel invention.
• Their claim was supported by the documentary
evidence of traditional knowledge, including ancient
sanskrit text and paper published in 1953 in the
Journal of Indian Medical Association.
