Protection Condition And Research Of Strategies Of New Patenting Plants In China

The right of new patterning of plants is one form of the intellectual property rights. The protection of new patterning of plants is an important part of the Intellectual Property Strategy and the Strategy of Revitalization of Agriculture with Science and also it is an important force to promote the innovation of agricultural science and technology. In April 23 1999, China has joined the International Union for the Protection of New Patterning of Plants (UPOV) and started the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Protection of New Patterning of Plants in order to meet the challenges and opportunities after the accession to WTO, construct the protective barriers of the seed resources and promote the innovation of agricultural science and technology. From then on, the protective policy began to help guarantee the agricultural safety and promote the economic development. Meanwhile, our country still has much to do in the protection of new patterning of plants. The Regulations is just the administrative rules issued by the State Council. If better protection is needed, a special law has to be adopted by the People's Congress. The Regulations is transitional and imperfect, so it has to be improved. Learning from the experiences in the developed countries, studying the history and present condition in China, this thesis proposes some solutions to the problems existing in protection of new patterning of plants in our country.
