In fact, the issue of intellectual property protection of flowers has attracted much attention in the industry and outside the industry in recent years. This aspect is of course due to the continuous improvement of our country's legal system, which has led to the continuous improvement of people's legal awareness.

On the other hand, it is also because various problems caused by intellectual property rights emerge in endlessly every year, and even bring huge losses to many companies, including the country, which also makes all walks of life pay attention to it.

A very simple and even urgent example is that there are very few rose varieties in our country that actually have intellectual property rights and patents, very few.

Most of the varieties of roses we usually send to our girlfriends are cultivated abroad. Some of these varieties are introduced from abroad through formal channels, and some are obtained through informal channels.

Due to the proliferation of private cuttings and grafting, these flower gardening companies that introduced foreign varieties suffered heavy losses and eventually had to stop such formal introduction work.

The introduction of these flower varieties through improper means has damaged the overall interests of our country's flower industry to a certain extent. It can bring short-term substantial benefits without having to pay more expensive intellectual property fees.

But this is damaging our country's foundation in the field of flower cultivation and destroying this soil. It will lead to a massive loss of talent in the entire field of flower variety cultivation, and the development of this field will be slow or even stagnant.

As a result, what we always see and buy are these old fixed varieties, and there are no new varieties cultivated by ourselves.

Secondly, those privately breeding unauthorized flower varieties will bring about some legal problems. There are still cases where international flower giants have subsequently filed domestic lawsuits to fight for their legitimate rights and interests.

In addition, those flower varieties that are not authorized will also encounter problems when exporting, which will cause those flower varieties to be withdrawn from the markets of other countries, thereby losing a small amount of foreign exchange and limiting your country's flower industry to Domestically, there is a situation where there is no way to go global.

And you know that in the prosperous society of the future, that kind of cultural products are the most profitable, and they are also the most sought after and unloved. "Besides, only then can the flower seedling and flower seed breeding companies be able to cultivate better varieties and give back to the flower farmers. Flower farmers cannot use those new varieties to cultivate flowers that are better-looking and more popular in the market. , thus earning less. So in the long run, we will definitely gain.

In terms of actual value, do flowers have any value at all? The flowers you buy back have no actual value except that they look bad, except that they don’t make people smile and make them feel bad.

So we can only start from the source, the flowers themselves.

After listening to Wu Hao's explanation, Lin Wei nodded thoughtfully, looked up at the bouquet of roses with her hand, and exclaimed with emotion: "I never thought there would be so many things ahead of such beautiful flowers. , bad simplicity.”

But its smallest value lies in its beauty and ugliness. Because of that, it is popular among small families. Because of that, it can support a market worth hundreds of billions.

Therefore, the country attaches great importance to this and has been strengthening the management of flower intellectual property rights and striving for guidance.

"Which industry is simpler?" Wu Hao said with a smile: "It's just that, other industries are not as casual as the flower industry. What does he think the value of those flowers is, and why should people pay so little money to buy them? .”

But for products that have no actual value, they cannot create value. To a certain extent, it is actually a cultural product just like these virtual products on the Internet, such as games, movies, and songs.

At present, new varieties that are resistant to drought, frost, floods, and pests and diseases cannot be cultivated through genetic technology. The cultivation and management of flower farmers will be more tense, and the cost will be slightly reduced. It is us who will benefit.

As for the roses I mentioned later, using gene editing technology, it is not possible to remove the genes outside the roses that are suitable for branch cutting and grafting, and they must be bred from seeds instead. In this way, after those roses are sold, it will be so difficult for others to take cuttings and graft them from those branches.

Seventh, there are not many flowers that are very difficult to protect. For example, roses are too difficult to live, whether it is cutting or grafting. It only requires a large branch to cut or graft, which is why it is so difficult to protect.

First of all, the domestic flower market is not formal enough at present. It is basically still in a state of chaos. Is there a broken set of industry standards, and are there relevant regulations, conventions, laws, etc. in that regard?

As for Wu Hao, if we want to retreat into the flower industry, we must solve a few painful problems. If we do, we may be like companies that rarely try to cultivate new varieties. The new varieties we have spent a huge amount of money to cultivate have been cultivated by others on a small scale and then sold on the market just two days after they were launched on the market. But no one cares about the genuine version that has been cultivated.

And solving the problem of intellectual property rights, that means we can't be so bold as to grow those flowers and sell them to the international market and make less.

Although doing so will harm the interests of some flower farmers and increase the cost of purchasing seeds or seedlings, that is not what it should be. Because those flower seeds and flower seedlings were cultivated by others with hard work, why should they be taken for nothing.

You know, the flower varieties we cultivate at Wu Hao all use gene editing and transgenic technologies. At present, there is no wrong consensus on the impact of these two technologies on the ecological environment, so for the sake of risk, those plant species are still allowed to breed on their own. Prevent it from flooding and contaminating other plant species, causing ecological disasters.

Hearing Wu Hao's question, Lin Wei thought for a moment, then looked up at Wu Hao and asked slightly: "Beautiful."

"Yes, beauty and ugliness are its smallest attributes. Although flowers do not have some other values, such as medicinal, edible, cosmetics, fragrance, etc.

It's just that it's very difficult to make real corrections in this aspect because there are safeguards. First of all, the consciousness of the minority is weak. They think that since the flowers we bought are not ours, what we want to do is our business and others are not in charge.

It is difficult to solve the problems that exist in the entire industry. It is also something that a newly retired company like Wu Hao and us cannot do, and I also want to take the risk.

Use biotechnology to change the characteristics of flower plants to prevent the flowers sold from being randomly grafted and propagated.

Of course, that method or flower sterilization technology is also to a certain extent to protect other flower varieties from genetic contamination by the flower varieties cultivated by Wu Hao.
