The nature of genetic bio patents is often debated with mixed results. It has become a topic of interest to many people. This paper aims to delve deeper into the complex scope and provide a comprehensive analysis of the various impacts of bio patenting. On the one hand, patenting genetic material leads to economic investment and encourages innovation, but on the other hand it can limit research and raise many ethical concerns such as the ethics of commoditizing genetic material and commercializing it. We want to find balance protecting the rights of patent holders and respecting ethical boundaries promoting the well-being of the public. It can be said that bio patents are two-fold. The legal scope of bio patents in India is unclear and needs clarification and a clearly defined legal framework to qualify for patenting of genetic material. This article takes an in-depth look at the evolving timeline of the gene patenting landscape in India and aims to highlight the much-needed legal clarity in this particular area.
