Exploring The Development of China's Seed Industry Under the Legal Empowerment

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of legal empowerment on the development of the Chinese seed industry. Firstly, it pays special attention to the comparative analysis of plant breeding intellectual property protection models. Through an in-depth study of the legal systems for the protection of new plant varieties in China, the U.S. and Europe, the current status of intellectual property rights in the domestic and international seed industry is systematically analyzed, and targeted policy recommendations are put forward to promote the development of China's seed industry. Secondly, the paper discusses the implementation status of the 1978 and 1991 Conventions of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) and its implications for the innovation of the Chinese seed industry. Finally, the study provides important references for seed industry enterprises to avoid risks in R&D and international trade, and provides theoretical basis for government departments to formulate relevant policies.
