Abstract: CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a trendsetting technique that is used for gene editing. Molecular life sciences have been revolutionized by this. This work categorizes a range of CRISPR-related patents and their application to crop improvement. The patents are classified into groups according to the type of plant CRISPR vectors, gene targeting and genetic modification of plants, approaches to produce non-transgenic, genome editing in tomato, potato, rice and other crops, gene targeting in plants using DNA viruses and genome editing for virus resistance plants appearing in the claims. These recent advances in CRISPR/Cas, gene editing techniques have made cell engineering easy and cheaper, propelling its demand. The goal of the applications is to increase resistance to abiotic or biotic stress, to engineer metabolic pathways, and to increase grain yield. This patent documents and applications for CRISPR are known as to be state-of-the-art technological information sources. Patent analysis allows scientists to obtain valuable knowledge that is often not revealed in published scientific literature. The patent field of CRISPR-Cas9 is dominated by industrial firms from universities and research institutes. The global trend suggests that no CRISPR patent is accessible from the Indian subcontinent for crop improvement. In examining the trend over a period of time, the study takes into account the important changes that have taken place and have direct bearing on the patenting activity. The aim of the summary is to facilitate the adoption of CRISPR for the importation of crops and the production of patentable technology.
