Abstract

In the context of the global economy, the rapid development of seed technology had brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to agricultural production. Seeds, as the foundation of agricultural production, technological progress and innovation play a vital role in ensuring global food security, improving crop production and promoting agricultural sustainable development. With the advancement of agricultural technology, the research and development of seeds was also increasingly valued. Both companies and research institutions were seeking to break through the bottleneck of seed technology and provide higher quality and more competitive seeds for agricultural production. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of intellectual property protection in the development of seed industry, so as to provide scientific basis for relevant strategy formulation. It was hoped that this study could reveal the impact of intellectual property protection on the development of seed industry, provide useful reference and suggestions for strategy makers, seed industry enterprises and researchers, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of seed industry.
