- Description
- According to the World Trade Organization, intellectual property rights are rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his or her creation for a certain period. There is a critical need for fresh developments in the existing medical diagnostic techniques, therapy, pharmaceutical medications, and research, in a world where such a sizable number of people are afflicted with various ailments, some of which are fatal and still incurable. Pharmaceutical companies are developing novel and cutting-edge ways to treat diseases at an increasing rate. The major pharmaceutical corporations in the world, including Pfizer, Miltenyi, Biotec, AstraZeneca, and Mesoblast Limited are pursuing research in the area of stem cell and regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine, stem cell research, and therapy are currently regarded as groundbreaking developments in the medical sciences. Understanding their intellectual property rights and the legal means through which these businesses can safeguard their discoveries becomes crucial. This paper will analyze the meaning of stem cell and regenerative medicines, the eligibility of IPR in Stem cell research under the Indian Patents Act, of 1970 and the morality and public issues related to the same. 2024 Taylor & Francis.
