| dc.description.abstract | Cage aquaculture is growing fast, and various technologies have been developed in different countries of which many have been protected with some form of Intellectual Property Rights like patents. Objective of this study was to examine patenting activities in cage culture. For this, patent search was performed using commercial (Micropat) and free online (www.freepatentsonline.com) database. International Patent Classification code A01K61/ 00 and word search using Boolean operators were the focus of the search strategy. Information was also collected from Indian Patent Office (IPO) for the period 1910 to 2000. A total of 129 patents related to cage culture were found from 1970 to 2009. Out of these, 46 patents were granted in USA, 41 in Japan, 32 under World Intellectual Property Organization, nine in Europe and one in UK. Number of patents granted from 1970-1994 viz., pre Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) era were 47 whereas from 1995 to 2009 (post TRIPS era), the number was 82 showing an increase of 74.5%. However, patenting activity has shown a decrease in 2000-2004 (25 patents) and in 2005-2009 (24 patents) compared to 1995-1999 during which maximum patents (33) were recorded. No conclusive reason could be reported for this. The patenting activities have to be documented and brought to broader notice, as cage culture is being given priority by nations across the world. | en_US |
