Biotechnology Patents

Biotechnology patents protect inventions related to living organisms and biological processes. This includes genetic modifications, new medical treatments, and innovations in agricultural products. By securing a patent, an inventor gains exclusive rights to their creation for a limited time, preventing others from using, making, or selling their invention without permission. This encourages innovation by allowing inventors to potentially profit from their work while ensuring that new discoveries can contribute to advancements in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. Patents help balance commercial interests with public access to new biotechnological solutions.
