The objective of this review is to summarize the importance of various forms of intellectual property rights, impacts of PBR, CBD, TRIPS and Biological Diversity Act 2002 and future prospects in protecting the native livestock breeds and associated traditional knowledge for conservation and their sustainable use in the modern IPR system. Intellectual Property Rights is an exclusive right over the creations of the mind. Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications and copyright. IPR rewards the creativity and it encourages economic growth. PBR is a sui generis system for protecting plants. India is signatory to CBD and TRIPS Agreement, it is obligatory for India to develop suitable legislation to protect and improve livestock genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge. As a member to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, India formulated the Biological Diversity Act, 2002. The effects of IPRs on animal genetic resources and biodiversity diversity are rarely been evaluated, but there is an imperative need for this analysis. Protection of native livestock breeds and associated traditional knowledge through appropriate sui generis system is essential for conservation and their sustainable use in the modern IPR system.
