The emergent subject of nanotechnology (NT) is currently very lively global with appreciate to
intellectual belongings rights (IPR), in particular patents, with each evolved and growing nations
joining in the nano-patents race. With the emergence of any new era, nanotechnology creates
possibilities in addition to challenges in adapting the patent regime to its particular context. just
like computer systems, nanotechnology is both an permitting era and a era sector in its own proper.
Nanotechnology is prolific within the re-search and improvement efforts of almost every monetary
quarter, from aerospace to medicinal drug to energy. Many business merchandise now contain
nanomaterials or nanotechnology ideas. for example, the excessive surface vicinity of nanoparticles
has been useful in enhancing healthcare textiles , increasing the recovery power. today, the race is
on to win the exclusive monopoly patents in this nano-scale materials, devices and processes. the
united states countrywide technological know-how basis predicts that the immensely extensive
strength and scope of nano-scale technology will revolutionize manufacturing throughout all
industry sectors – shooting a $1 trillion marketplace within six or seven years. This paper seeks to
examine the challenges which patenting of nanotech entails for the patent regimes of India and the
way these may be addressed definitely.
Key-word : Nanotechnology, healthcare textiles, intellectual property rights (IPR), Microbial
