It was in 1919 when the term biotechnology was invented and since then it was developed expeditiously that we have adopted many biotech products in our daily life. It does not mean that there was no use of the biotechnology before 1919. But before the term “Biotechnology” was invented any developments in the field of microorganism or living system were referred as “discoveries”. In today’s 21st centuries the term was frequently used from the classroom to the market. It cannot be denied tin upcoming days we wake up with biotechnology and we go to bed with biotechnology. However, at the same time from the intellectual law perspective it raises the question whether biotechnology invention can be protected or not? Since the biotechnology product is also an invention one has to prove his/ her novelty in the product. Thus, in this review paper the researcher will discuss the stages of development of the biotechnology, its relationship with intellectual property, appropriate intellectual property for the protection of the biotechnological inventions and challenges in protecting biotechnological invention.
