Abstract

Transnational agro-biological companies have been seeking technological measures,which replace other law measures,to protect its intellectual property right in the field of transgenic technology of crops. Therefore, Genetic Use Restriction Technologies(GURTs) have beeh established later; these technologies are becoming an excessive mode of intellectual property right protection now by its special mechnism of occupation. However,GURTs had been hauled into the whirlpool of debate after one of GURTs was awarded patent for the first time. The facts show that transnational agro-biological companies do not ease its research on GURTs and also do not slow down its commercial production in the technologies in order to safeguard their own benefit.China has also to face this facts in the future. GURTs' developing prospects in China is strenuously discussed based on its impacts on agricultural development, and it is deemed that the research and spread of GURTs might increase agricultural production efficiency and give a new way to protect intellectual property right of transgenic technology for Chia. Moreover, the bigger power in R&D of transgenic technology and the higher acceptance level to the GMFs in China would be of benefit to its extension and exploitation,while,the actions of farmers' reserving feeds will only have a limited impact.The conclusions are that on the one hand,Chinese government should play for safety before the potential impacts of GURTs draw a definitive conclusion, on the other hand, China might allow its import of the safer T-GURTs in order to go with the current and based on the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages;and the last, some advices are given.
