Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy Vol. 3 (3) July 2009. ISSN 0973-8916 224 Information to Authors The Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy is an official international journal of Association of Biotechnology and Pharmacy. It is a peer reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to publish high quality original research articles in biotechnology and pharmacy. The journal will accept contributions from all areas of biotechnology and pharmacy including plant, animal, industrial, microbial, medical, pharmaceutical and analytical biotechnologies, immunology, proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics and different areas in pharmacy such as, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharma analysis and pharmacognosy. In addition to the original research papers, review articles in the above mentioned fields will also be considered. Call for papers The Association is inviting original research or review papers in any of the above mentioned research areas for publication in Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy. The manuscripts should be concise, typed in double space in a general format containing a title page with a short running title and the names and addresses of the authors for correspondence followed by Abstract (350 words), 3 ñ 5 key words, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, References, followed by the tables, figures and graphs on separate sheets. For quoting references in the text one has to follow the numbering of references in parentheses and full references with appropriate numbers at the end of the text in the same order.

Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy Vol. 3 (3) 225 - 240, July 2009. ISSN 0973-8916 Strategies for Patenting in Biotechnology 225 Firoz Khan Pathan ✝ , Deespa Ailavarapu Venkata and Siva Kumar Panguluri* Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology, School of Medicine, University of Louisville KY 40292 USA. ✝ Nalsar Proximate Education, Nalsar University of Law, Hyderabad, India. *For correspondence - spanguluri@gmail.com Abstract Intellectual property rights (IP) is one of the major component of research in many organizations (both profit and non-profit), institutes and academics. Since 1970’s, during which a Canadian non-governmental organization (ETC group) filed two patent applications for the first time on “the world’s firstever human-made life form”, many companies including academic institutes or universities are encouraging their researchers to protect their findings through IP’s. It is obvious for the researcher to surprise if he looks at the number of patents that were issued since 1970 on various entities over the advancement of science. Despite intense database on inventions and/or discoveries of various scientific organizations, the increasing interests of the scientists to protect their inventions/technology/discovery thorough IP is significantly reducing the accessibility of their findings and there by slowing advances in science. In this review, we are discussing on various components of patenting tools, protection and methodologies as an introductory material for scientists and students for the better understanding of intellectual property (IP) rights. We would like to promote the use of IP’s to protect the technology being theft out for biological terrorism rather than a commercial motif to “Business” the science. Key Words: Intellectual Property Rights, Patenting DNA, Bayh-Dole Act, Stevenson- Wydler Technology Innovation Act.

Introduction Intellectual property rights have been a recurring source of controversy in molecular biotechnology in recent years. A variety of developments have contributed to the increasing salience of intellectual property in biomedical research, including strong and growing commercial interest in the field, legal decisions that have clarified the availability of patent protection for a wide range of discoveries related to life forms, and changes in federal policy to encourage patenting of the results of government- Patenting in Biotechnology
