Abstract:

This paper examines the problems and complexities created by the patent regime as well as challenges posed by accommodating new technologies like bioinformatics in its traditional patent framework. It examines and analyses the standards of biotechnology and software patents followed in the US, EU and India based on judicial precedents and its implications on bioinformatics patents, analyses bioinformatics patents granted in the United States and European Union and examines the  Indian Patent Manual and the patentability standards followed in India.
