New crop varieties also belong to the category of intellectual property rights, but they are not the object of patent protection. In China, there are the Seed Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on the Protection of New Plant Varieties of the People's Republic of China, which protect new crop varieties. These two laws have similar status to the Patent Law.
in the United States, new crop varieties are protected by patent law, that is, you can apply for patents in the United States.
