Intellectual Property Issues and Legal Protection Strategies for Genetic Drift in Germplasm Resources in Nanfan Breeding
In the context of today's global agricultural development,Nanfan breeding has garnered widespread attention as an effective breeding method.It takes advantage of the climatic benefits of southern regions to expedite the improvement and breeding cycles of crop varieties.However,the ensuing issue of genetic drift in germplasm resources,especially within the realm of genetically modified crops,has emerged as a significant challenge to the protection of intellectual property rights.This article explores the intellectual property issues associated with ge-netic drift in germplasm resources within Nanfan breeding through the legal dispute between Monsanto Company and Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser.It aims to provide references for policy formulation and practice in related fields.Additionally,a series of legal and regulatory protection strategies are proposed,including improving existing intellectual property protection mechanisms,strengthening international cooperation,and enhancing public awareness of the importance of protecting germplasm resources.The article also emphasizes the importance of future research directions,including further studies on genetic drift,updates and improvements to the legal framework of intellectual property rights,and the formulation and implementation of more fair and reasonable intellectual property protection standards worldwide.A comprehensive analysis of the intellectual property issues in Nanfan breeding is provided,along with practical solutions to existing challenges.
