The need to strike a balance between farmers' rights and agricultural technology innovation has shaped India's agriculture patent landscape over the past few decades. India's patent system is distinctive due to its socioeconomic context, particularly in protecting farmers, and its adherence to international treaties like the TRIPS Agreement (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). This unique approach has allowed India to navigate the complexities of agricultural patent while ensuring that farmers are not marginalized in the process. By incorporating both domestic priorities and international obligations, India has been able to foster innovation in agriculture while safeguarding the interests of its farming community.
