This paper assimilates and contributes to the current state of IPR knowledge and proprietary products in the Indian jurisdiction. The influence of international IPR domain and influx of proprietary foreign technology products on Indian agricultural technology profile vis-à-vis the plight of the national players is discussed, particularly, with respect to patenting in plant biotechnology/transgenics. The factual scenario under the national PPV&FR regime is narrated. This paper also analyses the recent foreign interests in respect of patenting in the areas of animal vaccines and diagnostics vis-à-vis the existing strength of the national system, which needs to be maintained.

| Summary/Abstract |
Licensing of technologies by companies and research institutes is a recent phenomenon that has gained immense popularity in the agricultural sector, it being imperative for the research fraternity to gain access to validated technologies, enhance their product portfolio, and accelerate access to commercialization ensuring outreach of good science to farmers. Two case studies pertaining to rice and chickpea are discussed in the paper to elucidate this process.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights (PPV&FR) Act is now a decade old and PPV&FR implementation implications are now clearly visible. The shortcomings and inadequacies in implementation of the Act and the Rules are a matter of grave concern to the seed industry, in particular, and Indian agriculture, in general. This needs to be addressed and resolved by the Central Government and the PPV&FR Authority in order to meet the objectives enshrined in the Act. These inadequacies are perceived in terms of slow-moving approach for database maintenance of existing varieties, notification of crop species eligible for registration, duration and effect of registration of extant notified varieties and varieties of common knowledge, ambiguity in parent line and hybrid registration under new variety and/or extant variety category, powers of the Registrar, advertisements published in Plant Variety journals, registration of transgenic varieties, parent lines etc. This paper highlights the issues that need to be resolved to avoid misuse of the Act and thereby unwarranted litigations.
