Unauthentic usage of bio-resources without prior permission is called biopiracy.

Bioprospecting is the systematic and organised search for useful products derived from bio-resources including plants, microorganisms, animals, etc., that can be developed further for commercialization and overall benefits of the society

A biopatent is a patent granted by the government to the inventor for biological entities and for products obtained from them.
