In contemporary times, biotechnology has become a driving force of change, integrating biology and engineering to address fundamental challenges across various industries. Its applications in the production of biopharmaceuticals, complex manufacturing methods, and the development of genetically enhanced organisms stand out. These breakthroughs not only represent scientific progress but also have a profound impact on society and the economy.

In the realm of intellectual property, protecting these developments requires tackling unique challenges. Technologies such as genetic editing of microorganisms, protein production processes, and food preservation solutions require a detailed analysis of their novelty and industrial applicability. Registrations in this field not only ensure exclusive rights but also promote collaborative research and scientific advancement.

In recent decades, we have witnessed highly significant milestones: the first patent related to a living organism, granted in 1873; the granting of exclusive rights to microorganisms in 1980; and the registration of the first genetically modified animal in 1988.

The legislation and legal practices relevant to these areas must evolve at the same pace as modern tools, ensuring that the timely protection of inventors' rights rewards their efforts, without overlooking ethics and justice.

Emerging advances in biotechnology allow us to aspire to a future once unimaginable, with entirely new ways of treating diseases, harnessing natural resources, and improving quality of life. Society will need intellectual property to safeguard these advancements, foster research, and ensure the right balance between innovation and collective well-being.
