Which one of the following is not the case of Biopiracy ?
Answer: D
The one that is not a biopiracy case is Ginger Cough (EPO Patent No. 539295).
The other three are well-known biopiracy disputes over Indian traditional knowledge and resources:
- Turmeric: US Patent 5,401,504 for its wound-healing use was revoked in 1997 after India's CSIR showed prior traditional use.
- Neem: European Patent 436257 for a neem-oil fungicide was revoked by the EPO in 2000 and the revocation upheld in 2005.
- Basmati: RiceTec's US Patent 5,663,484 on rice lines and grains was challenged by India, and most of its claims were withdrawn in 2001.
No such ginger cough patent is among the recognised biopiracy cases.
