Patenting and Regulatory Requirements of Natural Products.pptxSonaliGadge4
Intellectual property is the property possessed by virtue of one’s intellectual creativity.
Intellectual property rights (IPR) are exclusive rights to make, use and sell a new product or technology for a limited period.
Intellectual property, very broadly, means the legal rights which result from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields.
Intellectual property law aims at safeguarding creators and other producers of intellectual goods and services by granting them certain time-limited rights to control the use made of those productions.
Intellectual property is traditionally divided into two branches, “industrial property” and “copyright.” Patents come under the former category
Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) are legal rights that protect creations and/or inventions resulting from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary, or artistic fields. The most common IPRs include patents, copyrights, marks, and trade secrets and Regulatory affair is a profession developed from the desire of governments to protect public health by controlling the safety and efficacy of products in areas including pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, medical devices, pesticides, agrochemicals, cosmetics, and complementary medicines, and by the companies

Intellectual property is the product or creation of the mind. It is different from other properties in term that it is “intangible”. Hence it needs some different way for its protection.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Eg: Patented herbal anti-allergic composition which
comprises a synergistic mixture of extracts from the
fruits of Terminalia chebula, bark of Albizia lebbeck,
Terminalia bellerica and Embblica officinalis and
process of preparation of such composition.
• The present invention also contains the fruits of Piper
longum, piper nigraum and rhizomes of Zinger
officinalae and thoroughly mixed to get the final
composition which has potent anti-allergic activity.
• The preparation is useful for the treatment of allergic
conditions.
19. II. Patent for new use of the herbal
constituents
• Eg: The weight loss properties of Forskohlin
(obtained from the roots of Coleus forskohlli )
were discovered by the firm (Sabinsa
corporation), in humans, which is not a
traditional use of the Coleus active. For this,
the company was grantentd a patent for its use
and composition in promotion of lean body
mass, reduction of adipose tissue (fat) and
weight loss.
20. III. Modification or Synthesis of the natural compounds:
• Eg: The novel steroidal glycosides compounds which
are extracted and isolated from the extracts of plant of
the genus Trichocaulon or Hoodia containing an
appetite suppressant agent and the derivatives of such
compounds are synthesized with the aim of increasing
the activity of the active ingredient. Also, this
invention provides novel intermediates for the
synthesis of active compound.
• The active ingredient in the Hoodia gordonil plant is
called P57 and is responsible for its appetite
suppressant qualities. Phytopharm, a British
pharmaceutical company, has the exclusive patent on
P57.
21. IV. A Novel isolation process:
• Eg; For the process of isolation of Azadirachtin
(fungicidal activity) from the seeds of neem and
also its storage. N.C.L, Pune, Indian patent
V. A new application of an isolated compound:
• Eg; For the use of turmeric as a stabilising agent
for menadione, an antifungal agent. Japanesh
patent.
VI. The inventions with novelties:
• Eg; Bio-pesticides
VII. Biotechnology related products
VIII. Purification of the natural products
22. Case Study Of Curcuma
• Turmeric is a tropical herb grown in east India. Turmeric powder has
a deep distinct colour and bitter taste. It is used as dye, cooking
ingredient, litmus in chemical tests and for medicinal purposes.
• A United States patent on turmeric was awarded to the university of
Mississippi Medical centre in May 1995, specifically for the use of
turmeric in wound healing. Two years later, a complaint was filed by
India’s council of scientific and industrial Research (CSIR).
• CSIR argued that turmeric has been used in India for thousands of
years for healing wounds and rashes and therefore the patent on its
medicinal use was not a novel invention.
• The CSIR claim was supported by documentary evidence of
traditional knowledge including ancient Sanskrit text and paper
published in 1953 in the journals of Indian medical association.
• United States patent and trade mark office (USPTO) investigated the
validity of the patent.
• In 1997 despite an appeal made by the patent holders, the USPTO
upheld the CSIR objection and cancelled the patent due to lack of
novelty.
23.
24.
25. Case Study Of Neem
• The Neem tree Azadirachta indica is a tropical
evergreen tree native to India and is also found n other
south east countries.
• The seeds, bark and leaves contain compounds with
proven antiseptic, antiviral, antipyretic, anti-
inflammatory, anti ulcer and antifungal properties.
• In 1971, US timber importer "Robert Larson" observed
that the trees usefulness in India and began importing
neem seeds to his company head quarters.
• He conducted safety and performance test of neem.
Three years later he sold his invention to the US
Department of agricultural and multinational chemical
corporation WR Grace and co.
26. • In 1992 the WR Grace and co secured its right to the formula that
used the emulsion from the neem trees, seeds to make a powerful
fungicide.
• In applying for the patent, the company had argued that it had used
an extract of the trees, seed to make a new fungicide but the Indians
claim that its patent was not sufficiently novel as Indian farmers
have used this fungicide for decades.
• The Indians and members of the green party in the European union
opposed the patent because they believed that the rights of the poor
farmers in developing countries will be harmed.
• The Neem patent became the first to challenge European and US
patents on grounds of biopiracy.
• The Indian scientists argued that the Indians have known the
medicinal properties of neem long back.
• The European Patent Office (EPO) accepted the arguments offered
by Indian scientist and rejected the order of the US patent office to
award the patent to WR Grace and The victory is a result of four
yearlong effort by the research foundation for science, technology
and environment.
