Abstract: Agricultural biotechnology and its impact on Indian agriculture have extensively been scrutinised from the perspective of agrarian studies, economics, strategic management, as well as policy literature. However, there is a dearth of analysis from the perspective of intellectual property and technology management literature. These analyses become especially vital given the strengthening IP regime and emerging technology trends in crop biotechnology in India. In the present study, we have made an attempt to contribute to literature in this direction. We rely on patent landscape analysis as a tool to provide insights into technology trends, identify areas of research considered to be of commercial value, active players among public and private sector organisations, as well as potential implications for Indian seed industry. The interested reader must be aware of such progressions, which influence Indian agriculture, its stakeholders, and perhaps food security as well.
