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.

3 Epic Biotechnology Podcasts to Follow

Podcasts are an awesome way of using your brain whilst completing mundane tasks like commuting, cleaning  or doing the laundry. They allow you the time to catch up with recent events, as well as being an excellent way to learn. So here is a list of some of the podcasts we at TheBiotech10 are listening to, to keep up to date with the biotechnology space.    The Talking Biotech Podcast Dr. Kevin Folta, the host of this podcast, is a professor of the horticultural sciences department at the University of Florida. This weekly podcast provides science based discussions on the current topics within biotech. The guests Dr. Folta brings on describe the current issues within the biotechnology space and often the solutions behind them. There is also a segment dedicated to plant genetic improvement from domestication through the today's breeding efforts. This guest based podcast is a must listen for those interested in the Biotechnology space. The Bio Report The Bio Report is a weekly podcast

Genetic Engineering in Agriculture: the Good and the Bad

Genetic engineering is the intersection of technology and nature in an attempt to create the best possible outcome. The process of genetic engineering alters the structure of genes through direct manipulation of an organisms genetic material. DNA is either added or removed, this process produces traits, that weren't found in the organism before the engineering. Genetic material has revolutionized agriculture in a way that cannot take place naturally or with selective breeding.  Gene editing also allows for herbicide resistant plants. It also produces plants with a resistance to infestations or droughts. The main benefit of GMO crops is how it impacts people, allowing more people to enjoy meals, without having to worry about certain environmental factors, due to increased crop yields, from hardier crops. The pros of genetic engineering in agriculture heavily relies on this. However, a small population are looking into the dangerous propositions of this technology.  The technology is
