INTELLECTUALPROPERTYRIGHTS (IPR)

The actual global recognition to the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

in agriculture came into existence when several countries including India became

signatory to World Trade Organization (WTO) and International Treaty on Plant

Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) in the recent past. The

Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has taken several steps towards

developing and strengthening the decentralized three-tier IP (intellectual property)

management system since the implementation of 'ICAR Guidelines for Intellectual

Property Management and Technology Transfer/Commercialization' with effect

from 2 October 2006. In fact, IPR are legal rights to inventor(s). It provides legal

restrictions for use of new developments without the permission of the holder of the

rights of the invention(s). IPR also provides an avenue for royalties or other fees to

the inventor(s) for the use of the invention/technology. There are two broad

categories of IPR: first, industrial property covering IPRs such as patents,

trademarks, geographical indications and industrial design; second, copyright and

related rights covering artistic and literary works, performances, broadcasts and

others (Sui generis) which include those covering lay-out designs of semi

conductor chips, plant breeders' rights etc.

Intellectual property (IP) is a collective term used to describe new

ideas, inventions, designs, writings, films etc. that are protected by patents,

copyright, trademarks, industrial designs etc. The IP may be stolen if the

appropriate steps are not taken to protect it. Under IP system, one (owner) can

export just the IP itself, without an accompanying product i.e. license to a company

or companies registered overseas, the right to manufacture or sell product. By this

way one can earn additional profit while retaining ownership over the inventions,

innovative designs and trademarks. The present bulletin outlines some of the IPR

issues for sensitization in Agriculture and suggests some strategies to maximize

their production.

INTRODUCTION

1

Intellectual property rights became a concern in Indian agriculture when

India joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995 and signed

on to WTO's Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)

agreement. Historically, systems for the protection of intellectual property were

applied principally to mechanical inventions of one kind or another, or to artistic

creations. The assignment of IPRs to living things is of relatively recent origin in

developed countries. Vegetatively propagated plants were first made patentable in

the US only in 1930.And the protection of plant varieties (or plant breeder's rights -

PBRs), a new form of intellectual property, only became widespread in the second

half of the 20 Century. Thus systems for the protection of plants derive from the

economic structure and circumstances of agriculture that prevailed in developed

countries in this period. That such systems came into being reflected the growing

interest of private breeders in protecting their intellectual property. Farmers have

traditionally replanted, exchanged or sold seed from the previous years' crop which

means that breeders have difficulty in recouping the investments made in improved

varieties through repeat sales. Patents or PBRs normally impose restrictions on

farmers' ability to sell grown seed (and in some cases to reuse it) and thus enhance

the market for the breeder's seed. Even in the developed countries, reuse of seeds

remains quite common although for many crops annual purchase is now the rule. In

developing countries the majority of farmers reuse, exchange or sell informally to

neighbors, and annual purchase of new seed is relatively rare in most countries.

With the adoption of the TRIPS Agreement, developing countries have

been obliged to adopt protection of plant varieties, by patents or by other means,

without any serious consideration being given to whether such protection would be

beneficial, both to producers and consumers, or its possible impact on food

security.As with medicines, a crucial issue is whether and how intellectual property

protection can help promote research and innovation relevant to the needs of

developing countries and poor people. And we also need to ask how IP protection

affects the cost and access of farmers to the seeds and other inputs they need.

COPYRIGHT

Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted by the law of a jurisdiction to

the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and

adapt work. They are protected irrespective of their quality and they include purely

technical guides and engineering drawings. The copyright laws protect only the

form of expression of ideas and not the ideas themselves. The total term of

protection for literary work is the author's life plus sixty years. For cinematographic

films, records, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous publication,

works of government and international agencies the term is 60 years however for

broadcasting, the term is 25 years. The copyright laws generally do not provide an

exhaustive list of the types of work that are protected by copyright, practically all

national laws provide for protection of the following:

Literary works

Musical works

Work of art

Maps and technical drawings

Photographic works

Motion pictures

Computer programs

Multimedia products

The proforma for copyright protection is available on the website

, which can be used for filling copyright.

The first Indian patent laws were promulgated in 1856. Subsequently, these

were modified from time to time as per needs. However, new patent laws were

made after the independence in the form of the Indian Patent Act 1970. The Act has

now been radically amended to become fully compliant with the provisions of

TRIPS. The most recent amendment was made in 2005 which were preceded by the

amendments in 2000 and 2003. While the process of bringing out amendments was

going on, in the mean time, India became a member of the Paris Convention, Patent

Cooperation Treaty and Budapest Treaty. The need of patent arises in India as fast

technological developments in different sectors have been started. The importance

of the patent is explained below.

Patents are legal monopoly rights granted, by the government, to the

applicant, for new inventions (process or product) employing scientific and

technical knowledge. The purpose of this system is to encourage inventions by

promoting their protection and utilization so as to contribute to the development of

industries, which in turn, contributes to the promotion of technological innovation

and to the transfer and dissemination there of. Under the system, patents ensure

property rights (legal title) for the invention for which patent has been granted,

which may be extremely valuable to an individual or a Company. One should make

the fullest possible use of the Patent System and the benefits it provides. Patent right

is territorial in nature and a patent obtained in one country is not enforceable in

other country. The inventors/their assignees are required to file separate patent

applications in different countries for obtaining the patent in those countries. A

Patent is an exclusive right granted for the protection of an invention. The patent

provides its owner with the exclusive right to prevent others from commercially

exploiting the invention for a limited period of time in return for disclosing the

invention to the public. Thus, the owner of the patent (patentee) can prevent others

from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the patented invention

without permission, and sue anyone who exploits the patented invention without

his or her permission. The patent can be obtained by filing an application to the

regional or national Patent Office along with the description of the invention and its

comparison with the existing one (Patent forms can be downloaded from website

). The term of every patent is 20 years from the date of filing of

patent application, irrespective of whether it is filed with provisional or complete

specification. Date of patent is the date on which the application for patent is filed

In respect of patent applications filed, following aspects will have to be kept in

mind:

Claim or claims can now relate to single invention or group of inventions linked

so as to form a single inventive concept.

Applicant has to request for examination 12 months within publication or 48

months from date of application, whichever is later.

A provisional specification is usually filed to establish priority of the

invention in case the disclosed invention is only at a conceptual stage and a delay is

expected in submitting full and specific description of the invention. Although, a

patent application accompanied with provisional specification does not confer any

legal patent rights to the applicants, it is, however, a very important document to

establish the earliest ownership of an invention. The provisional specification is a

permanent and independent scientific cum legal document and no amendment is

allowed in this. In fact, no patent is granted on the basis of a provisional

specification. Subsequently, a complete specification for obtaining a patent for the

said invention is must. It is not necessary to file an application with provisional

specification before the complete specification. In provisional specification,

of the invention, written description, drawings (if necessary) and sample or model

(if required) are provided for processing.

e) National PhaseApplication under PCT.

If the invention has market potential and one thinks that another company could

make profits from that invention, it needs protection as a patent.

Apatent gives the right to exclude others from making the same product.

The patent holder has time to market the invention exclusively without

competition on higher prices.

It gives the right for legal action against the person making or selling the

product without permission from the patent holder.

A trademark is a distinctive sign which distinguishes the goods or services

produced or provided by one enterprise from those of another. In general, any

distinctive words, letters, numerals, drawings, colors, pictures, shapes, logotypes,

labels or combinations of the above used to distinguish between the goods and

services of different companies may be considered as a trademark. Thus the main

advantages of trademarks are as follows:

A trademark enables a customer to distinguish the product of one manufacturer

from the other.

The trademark becomes an effective instrument for attract customers.

Trademark acquires goodwill of customers by its proper use.

Amarketing tool and the basis for building a broad image and reputation.

Provide an incentive to companies to invest in maintaining or improving the

quality of their products.

To provide better protection of trade mark for goods and services and also to

prevent fraudulent use of the mark.

Trade mark valid for 10 years thereafter renewal is required.

E.g. Label 'PUSA' by IARI, New Delhi; 'KNOCK WP' ( formulation) by

DOR, Hyderabad; 'CIFAX' an antibiotic formulation for use in fisheries and

aquaculture.

TRADE MARK


12

One can protect one's trademark by registering it. Registration would prevent

others from marketing identical or similar products under the same mark. One may

license or franchise one's trademark to other companies. The protection period of

trademark is unlimited (initially for ten years and renewal after every ten years).

Location of trademark registry offices in India

There are five trademark registry offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and

Ahmadabad.

Industrial design generally refers to a product's overall form and function.

According to IP law, however, an industrial design refers only to the aesthetic

aspects or outward appearance of a product. Industrial design includes technical

and medical instruments, watches, jewellery and other luxury items; from

household products, toys, furniture and electrical appliances to cars and

architectural structures; from textile designs to sports equipment. Industrial design

is also applied to product packaging and containers. Industrial design consists of

the three dimensional features such as the shape of a product, the two-dimensional

features such as ornamentation, patterns and lines or color, or combination of two or

more of these. There are many reasons for business to protect their industrial

designs as smart industrial designs are business assets and can increase the

commercial value of the company. It plays big role in the successful marketing of a

wide variety of products, helping to define the image of a company's brand. A

protected design also provide additional source of revenue for its company through

licensing out to others, for a fee, the right to use, or by selling the registered design

right. The protection period of Industrial design is 10 years (renewal after every 5

years).

A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific

geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that place of

origin. The agricultural, natural and manufactured goods are covered under GIs in

India. Champagne, Tequila, Darjeeling, Roquefort, Pilsen, Porto, Sheffield and

Havana are some examples of well- known names that are associated throughout

the world with products of a certain nature and quality and specific origin.

Geographical indications, as a distinct form of IP are not related to

ownership/usership interest to ICAR but can be of broader relevance. Likewise

trade mark, GI is a form of IPR used in product marketing, represented in words,

figures, graphics, diagrammatic presentations or any specific combination of these

indications, but it essentially governs a collective rather than individual right that

represents a specific link between goods (whether agricultural, natural or

manufactured goods) and place of their production. Registration of geographical

indications prevents unauthorized use of GI's by others, promotes economic

prosperity of the producers and enables seeking legal protection in other WTO

member countries. The protection period of geographical indication is unlimited

(renewal after every ten years). The proforma for registration of GI is available on

[email protected]

Protection of plant varieties & farmers rights act

After establishment of Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Authority

at New Delhi, new plant varieties can be protected under Protection of Plant Variety

and Farmers Rights Act, 2001. However, plant varieties can not be

protected through patents. In this act there are also provisions for benefit sharing

with farmers, penalty for marketing spurious propagation material and protecting

extant varieties. All extant varieties of ICAR, which have not completed 15 years

from the date of notification under the Seed Act, 1966 have to be protected under

the PPV & FR Act as a priority activity in a time-bound manner. This in turn will

enable a more rapid and effective transfer of plant varieties to end users. There are 5

main criteria to arrive at a decision, whether a plant variety is really new or not.

These are distinctiveness, uniformity, stability, novelty and denomination. The

variety shall be deemed to be distinct if it is clearly distinct from any other variety

whose existence is a matter of common knowledge at the time of filing of the

application. The variety shall be deemed to be uniform if, subject to the variation

that may be accepted from the particular features of its propagation, it should be

sufficiently uniform in its relevant characteristics. The variety shall be deemed to

be stable if its relevant characteristics remain unchanged after repeated

propagation or, in the case of a particular cycle of propagation at the end of each

such cycle. The variety shall be deemed to be new if, at the date of filing of the

(PPV & FR)

15


application for breeder's right, propagating or harvesting material of the variety has

not been sold or otherwise disposed of to others, by or with the consent of the

breeder for the purpose of exploitation of the variety. The variety shall be

designated by a denomination, which will be its generic designation. In 2001, in

line with the TRIPS guidelines, the government passed the Protection of Plant

Varieties and Farmers' RightsAct (PPV&FRAct) with the objectives -

(1) To provide an effective system for protection of plant varieties (new/extants)

(2) To protect the rights of farmers and plant breeders

(3) To encourage the development of new varieties of plants

(4) To stimulate R&D investment and seed industry growth

(5) To ensure the availability of high-quality seeds and planting materialst farmers

and other agencies.

(6) To ensure benefit sharing to farmers.

(7) To strengthen seed industry by facilitating research and development.

The National research Centre on Pomegranate (NRCP) was established on

September 25, 2005 by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New

Delhi to enhance quality production and utilization of pomegranate through basic

and strategic research and also to exploit the vast potential of pomegranate owing to

its wider adaptability to grow under varied climatic and soil conditions. Since the

inception of the centre, NRCP has made significant achievements in genetic

resource enhancement by collecting more than 300 germplasm both indigenous

and exotic, ascertaining the cause of devastating bacterial blight and managing the

disease effectively through development and adoption of orchard health

management (OHM) schedule under the Network Project in states of Maharashtra,

Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Preliminary observations on exploitations of bio-

TECHNOLOGYGENERATION PROCESSAT NRCP

1) Crop Improvement

Germplasm collection and establishment of field gene bank of pomegranate :

Since inception of the centre 302 germplasm (135 Indigenous and 167 Exotic)

were collected from different sources and established a national field gene bank

(Fig.1). One hundred and eight exotic accessions of pomegranate were

imported from California, USA, during June, 2010.

Fig.1 Field gene bank of pomegranate

Varietal development: In the last two years, different mutants and selections

have been identified and are under evaluation (Fig. 2). Besides, hybridization

program has been initiated and F hybrids are being raised for selection of

bacterial blight tolerant genotypes.

2) Crop Production

Developed wedge grafting technique: Wedge grafting technique has been

standardized that will be useful for multiplication of grafted plants.

Studies are underway on the development of Integrated Plant Nutrient

Management (IPNM) system for sustainable pomegranate production.

Tissue culture laboratory has been established and protocol for the development

of elite planting material is being standardized.

Exploitation of bio-inoculants :

Beneficial microorganisms like phosphorus and potassium solubilizing and

nitrogen fixing bio-inoculants are under testing.

Some bio-inoculants have also been tried for rooting in air-layers and stem

cuttings.

The Centre has developed OHM schedule and improved it further under the

name of IDPM for the effective management of bacterial blight and other

diseases like wilt and fruit spots and important insect-pests, besides improving

water and nutrient use efficiency for enhanced production. The schedule has

been found effective against bacterial blight and other diseases and insect-pests

of pomegranate in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka andAndhra Pradesh.

New chemical molecules, bio-agents and botanicals are being evaluated for the

management of bacterial blight and other important diseases and insect-pests.

Studies on management of pomegranate post harvest losses and development of

processed and value added products are underway.
