Any analysis of the Intellectual Property Rights relating to the seed industry in India needs to take cognizance of three interrelated issues: (a) that the current debate on IPR is part of a larger debate on issues relating to GATT; (b) that the options on IPR are intricately linked to the New Economic Policy and the accompanying liberalization process; and (c) that the IPR relating to plant varieties need to be seen in a broader framework of the seed policy pursued by the government. In this background, this paper by Rakesh Basant reviews the available literature and data to explore the impact of IPR on the seed industry in India.
