<p>Biopiracy and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have emerged as significant challenges in the interface between intellectual property rights, biodiversity conservation, and traditional knowledge protection in India. The commercialization of biological resources and indigenous knowledge by multinational corporations has raised concerns regarding unauthorized patenting and inequitable benefit-sharing. India, endowed with rich biodiversity and diverse traditional knowledge systems, has witnessed several instances where patents were sought over products and practices long known to local communities. This paper critically examines the legal framework governing biopiracy and GMOs in India, with particular emphasis on patent law, the Biological Diversity Act, and the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL). It evaluates the effectiveness of existing legal safeguards in preventing misappropriation of traditional knowledge and ensuring community rights. The study further explores policy reforms necessary to strengthen protection mechanisms while balancing innovation, sustainable development, and farmers’ interests.</p>
