We know that seed cultivation needs several generations or even dozens of generations of seeds to cultivate high-quality and ideal seeds.
During this period, the staff and scientists worked hard and invested a lot of money. The excellent varieties they cultivated were also protected by the seed law and obtained intellectual property patents.
In this way, farmers must respect the intellectual property protection of breeders when using seeds.
At present, traditional primitive seeds are rare in rural crops.
The seeds that farmers grow grain are generally seeds with intellectual property rights cultivated in seed farms.
In this way, seeds involve the protection of intellectual property rights, and farmers need to be extra careful when using them.
1, seeds with intellectual property rights
What is a seed with intellectual property protection ability? In fact, it is the seeds cultivated by agricultural experts and seed breeders in the seed field, or the high-quality seeds cultivated by hybrid technology. After applying for patents, the seeds are protected by the corresponding intellectual property rights of the state.
For example, the hybrid rice of Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, is an excellent variety obtained through decades of efforts.
It is illegal to resell or plant on a large scale without the permission of the intellectual property owner. Farmers must attach great importance to and respect the breeders of these hard-won fine varieties.
In recent years, due to the protection of intellectual property rights, the illegal sale and use of seeds protected by intellectual property rights in rural areas of China often leads to disputes, and some will resort to legal solutions.
Therefore, the state has formulated the Seed Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which has achieved good results in mediating the contradiction in seed use.
According to the provisions of the Seed Law, farmers should have the corresponding conditions to preserve seeds with intellectual property rights, and they are not allowed to preserve, use or buy or sell seeds with intellectual property rights at will. Only when two conditions are met can the seeds with intellectual property rights be used reasonably and legally.
2. Farmers who own the original contracted land can use seeds with intellectual property rights.
Farmers can use seeds with intellectual property rights on their contracted land.
Under normal circumstances, the land contracted by farmers is not too large. After the government buys or distributes excellent varieties with intellectual property protection, it can get a bumper harvest and continue to use its own seeds in the next year. But it is not allowed to buy or sell seeds or transfer them to other large grain growers for large-scale use.
If you buy and sell seeds protected by intellectual property rights to gain benefits, it will cause losses to the economy of those protected by intellectual property rights.
This is an act explicitly prohibited by the seed law. If we don't own the seeds with intellectual property rights through normal channels, it will disrupt the national seed management order, cause market confusion, and even cause a mixed situation, which is not conducive to farmers using high-quality seeds to produce food.
Therefore, we must strictly control and resolutely ban this illegal behavior.
3. You can only leave your own seeds with intellectual property rights.
The seeds left by farmers have intellectual property rights and must be used in the responsibility fields contracted by themselves. It is illegal to leave as many seeds as there is land, that is to say, it is not allowed to exceed the seeds they use or resell them.
It can be seen that the state has taken strict protection measures for seeds with intellectual property rights, and every farmer must strictly abide by them, and must never use or resell seeds with intellectual property rights at will.
In recent years, some large grain growers and grain companies have emerged. If these large grain growers do not purchase seeds with intellectual property rights through legal procedures.
It is bound to cause huge economic losses to intellectual property owners, and the order of seed market will be chaotic.
Therefore, in order to maintain the right to use high-quality seeds and form a virtuous circle of seed market, we must strictly abide by the seed law, give full play to the high-quality role of seeds, and lay a solid foundation for stable and increased grain production.
Conclusion:
In short, farmers must strictly demand that they own the seeds of intellectual property rights and use them legally in accordance with the provisions of the Seed Law. They must not illegally resell for profit, and can only use it on the land contracted by themselves. If you violate these two basic rules, it will be a serious violation of the law and will be sanctioned by law.
Please be vigilant, be law-abiding citizens, use high-quality seeds reasonably and legally, and make grain production harvest every year.
