As researches and inventions in biotechnology domain revolves around living organisms and genetic engineering, the criteria for getting patent i.e., novelty, utility, inventiveness and non-obviousness have been opening up new challenges. Identifying the characteristics of novelty and\/or patentability in living beings is a mammoth tough task.<\/p><p>According to the Agreement on the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), patents are available for any invention in all fields of technology.

They are limited rights based on a claim that a new technological invention has been created and fully communicated to the public. Patents can cover new products, processes that create these new products, new processes for producing existing products, and new processes generally.<\/p>\n<p>Most modern medicines are based on biotechnology. Many anti-cancer drugs based on patented human gene sequences are prolonging the lives of cancer patients, such as Herceptin for breast cancer and Avastin, for colon and other cancer. Humira, a patented medicament based on human gene sequences used to treat auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, was the world&#8217;s best-selling medicine in 2014. Eight out of the top 10 best-selling medicaments were biological in origin and covered by patents.<\/p>\n<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44cd5cb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44cd5cb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-396059f\" data-id=\"396059f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-befc631 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"befc631\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How MCRPL can help?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed7cf95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed7cf95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>MCRPL is 20-year-old company undertakes all kind of prior art search including scientific and technical information that exist.
