In July 2021, the Central Committee for Deepening Reform reviewed and approved the Action Plan for Seed Industry Revitalization, which made important arrangements for the development of the seed industry. This year is a crucial year for the revitalization of the seed industry, shifting from "laying the foundation in three years" to "achieving results in five years". At the recent video conference on accelerating the revitalization of the seed industry and summarizing the germplasm resource census, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs presented impressive results, while emphasizing that the revitalization of the seed industry is still in a crucial stage of overcoming difficulties and overcoming obstacles. As an agricultural "chip", a good seed is not only the harvest hope of farmers, but also an important bargaining chip to ensure national food security. China feeds nearly 20% of the world's population with 9% of the world's arable land. In the face of the basic national situation of more people and less land, how to produce more and better food on limited arable land is considered key. "Maintaining the safety of the seed industry" has been explicitly included in the Food Security Law that will come into effect on June 1st this year, and once again reminds everyone that small seeds are related to the "Chinese rice bowl". The level of scientific research and innovation directly affects the quality of seed varieties. Therefore, strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights in the seed industry is an important part of maintaining the safety of the seed industry. Faced with situations such as concealed infringement, significant increase in disputes over variety rights, and complex types of infringing parties, the Supreme People's Court has released four batches of typical cases of judicial protection of intellectual property rights in the seed industry since 2021. This has condensed the wisdom of frontline trials, clarified the application of relevant laws, and timely solved the problems of rights protection that arise in practice while adhering to strict protection, providing strong judicial protection for promoting innovation in the seed industry. A good market environment is the "black soil" for the revitalization of the seed industry. Fake and inferior agricultural inputs such as "fake seeds" and "fake seeds" that enter the market will not only make the sweat of farmers go to waste, but also disrupt the normal market operation order. In order to solidly promote the revitalization of the seed industry and the purification of the market, the Ministry of Public Security, together with relevant departments, has jointly deployed a national special campaign to crack down on counterfeit agricultural inputs. It has organized national public security organs to crack down on prominent criminal activities such as seed fraud and infringement in conjunction with the "Kunlun 2024" special campaign, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of farmers. The healthy development of enterprises can provide strong support for high-quality promotion of seed industry revitalization. To further stimulate the vitality of enterprises, on the one hand, in conjunction with the special action of "procuratorial protection for enterprises", procuratorial organs in Hubei, Liaoning, Gansu and other regions have deepened their efforts in seed industry enterprises, carried out "legal medical examinations", and strengthened the comprehensive performance of procuratorial functions in criminal, civil, administrative, and public interest litigation; On the other hand, judicial administrative agencies in Beijing, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places actively provide high-quality public legal services. By signing notarization service cooperation agreements with seed industry associations, organizing lawyers to enter enterprises to answer questions, and preparing legal service guidelines related to seed industry production activities, they help seed industry enterprises achieve significant results in optimizing their layout, strengthening technological innovation, and improving their ability to ensure seed supply. A seed can change a world, and a technology can create a miracle. The revitalization of the seed industry is not achieved overnight, but requires the joint efforts of multiple parties. With the continuous protection of the rule of law, more and more high-quality agricultural "chips" can continuously enrich the "Chinese rice bowl", and make the happiness brought by each vegetable and rice more abundant.
