style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 1 April 2026, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change<\/span> reported a significant increase in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Intellectual Property Rights<\/span> (IPR) applications linked to India&#8217;s biological resources, reflecting the positive impact of the regulatory reforms introduced under the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001591695\" target=\"_blank\">Biological Diversity (Amendment) Act, 2023<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways:<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>This increase in IPR applications<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> linked to biological resources<\/span> was recorded by the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">National Biodiversity Authority<\/span> (NBA), highlighting the growing convergence of biodiversity, research, innovation, and industrial development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>This upward trend is a direct result of the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001591695\" target=\"_blank\">Biological Diversity (Amendment) Act, 2023<\/a><\/span>, which has clarified and strengthened the regulatory framework governing access to biological resources and related traditional knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Under the amended Act, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Section 7 applicants have to obtain a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the NBA before seeking any IPR<\/span> based on Indian biological resources, enhancing compliance and transparency while aligning utilisation with conservation and benefit-sharing principles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The amended framework has streamlined procedures, resulting in a shift towards a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">registration-based approval system<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">April 2024&#8212;March 2025:<\/span> The NBA received <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">857 IPR applications<\/span>, of which <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">792 Certificates of Registration (CoRs)<\/span> were issued for applications found to be in order.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">April 2025&#8212;March 2026:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1,077 IPR applications<\/span> were received and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">885 CoRs<\/span> were issued, indicating sustained growth in filings and improved disposal efficiency by the NBA.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The applications span diverse sectors including <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food sciences<\/span>, and other knowledge-driven industries, reflecting broad adoption of the streamlined regulatory mechanism.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>By mandating prior registration and simplifying approvals, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><a
