What you need to Know About Violet Biotechnology


Violet Biotechnology is related to publication invention, IPRs (Intellectual Property Rights) and patents of biotechnology. It is devoted to regulation and problem solving, it's also responsible for the formation of a platform  for discussion. While the other forms of biotech aim at increasing the number of inventions, violet biotechnology maintains them.

Biotechnology is a sector that is responsible for causing a lot of doubts and fears, due to the radical potential of many inventions. These fears have caused serious moral dilemmas and discussions. Due to disputes as a result of these fears, the formation of a new branch of biotechnology was created, the Violet branch. 

Violet Biotechnology Includes

  • Encouraging new inventions within biotechnology 
  • Analysis and Publication of biotech research 
  • Patenting of biotech inventions 
  • Enforcement of intellectual property

Applications of Violet Biotechnology

Many of the processes within this sector of biotech take years due to the legal implications of it. Here are a few applications of violet biotechnology in the real world:
  •  In the mid-1960s countries such as Germany and the USA gave out many IPRs to various plant varieties. This created a lot of pressure in the plant breeding communities within the countries . This eventually lead to the formation of The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV).
  • Standards for applications of patents of biotechnology have been put in place. For example in the USA, when an inventor applies for the rights to their invention they need to fulfill five criteria -- matter eligibility, novelty, utility, be non-obvious and not have been previously disclosed. Whereas in Europe to be eligible for the patent right, it must be new, industrially applicable and involve an inventive step.  
  • Bodies such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) have conducted separate studies about intellectual property within biotechnology.

Complication of Violet Biotechnology

Some aspects of biotechnology law are controversial, especially in Europe with relation to patentts on living organisms such as GMOs. Such controversies claim that the patent rights have been slowing down the progress that could be made within the industry.

The Future of Violet Biotechnology

With the rate of discoveries and inventions within biotech growing at an increasing rate, the complications regarding violet biotechnology are bound to increase. Its' future relies on an international agreement outlining what is and what is not acceptable in terms of use of particular technologies available. The platform for proper analyses and publication is to be maintained while necessary reorganization for the rights to an invention should be provided.

What You Need To Know About Brown Biotechnology

What is Brown Biotechnology? Brown biotechnology is a branch of  biotechnology that focuses on the management of arid lands and deserts. Also known as  Arid Zone and Desert Biotechnology . The technology aims at making an impact by using improved disease-free high-quality seeds and making use of the limited water in low-rainfall areas. Brown biotechnology  considers crop management in the arid zones and deserts of the world. It aims to develop crops that can withstand the extreme climates of the worlds arid regions. Combining nature with technology for treatment of lackluster desert soils, creation of enhanced seeds to resist the extreme environments or creation of new agriculture methods. Who is it for? With a third of the worlds landmass being desert, and conditions that make farming and living a challenging feat. This sector of biotechnology is just as critical as the rest. An example of where brown biotechnology is an important research space is within the continent o...
