In late October, the reporter visited the Sanya South Breeding Base in Hainan Province. At the experimental field of Sanya South Breeding Base of China Seed Group Co., Ltd., workers are busy planting rice seedlings. In Hainan, rice can be planted all year round. The unique tropical monsoon climate has made Hainan a cradle for cultivating crop seeds in China. The South Breeding Base is an important agricultural research and breeding base in China. Taking rice as an example, seed production and breeding take several months or even years, and each link is related to the rights and interests of all parties, "said Wu Zhibang, a prosecutor at the Sanya City Suburban Procuratorate. So, what are the special connections between the procuratorial organs and breeding bases? Seeds are known as the "chips" of agriculture. From September to May of the following year, agricultural experts from all over the country come to Sanya to utilize its unique tropical climate conditions for seed breeding. In order to serve and ensure the development of modern agricultural industry in Sanya South Breeding Base and safeguard the "chip" of the seed industry, Sanya Procuratorate and Sanya Suburban Procuratorate jointly established the Sanya Procuratorate Intellectual Property Protection Center, selected senior prosecutors and business backbones to form the "Tianzhiya" intellectual property case handling team, and visited and researched the South Breeding Base multiple times. In response to issues such as theft of breeding materials, difficulty in determining seed industry infringement, and irregular management of experimental fields discovered during visits, the Intellectual Property Protection Center of the Sanya Procuratorate, together with the Sanya Intellectual Property Protection Center, the Intellectual Property Department of the Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Management Bureau, the Yazhou Branch of the Sanya Public Security Bureau, and other units, jointly established a consultation mechanism for judicial protection of the seed industry, opened an intellectual property inspection service hotline, and provided services such as sending laws to enterprises, professional legal consultation, and appointment of legal lectures to ensure the innovative development of the seed industry with the power of the rule of law. In response to the problem of difficulty in discovering clues in criminal cases involving crop cultivation, the procuratorial organs of Sanya City have jointly established a rapid response and handling mechanism for criminal clues such as plant breeding and anti-counterfeiting of agricultural materials, timely carrying out case supervision, timely intervening and guiding investigations, and strictly implementing the "one case, four investigations" policy. During the process of handling a case involving the infringement of trade secrets by a new plant variety, the "Tianzhiya" intellectual property investigation team held multiple case exchange meetings with public security investigators and botanical experts to promote the full chain protection of seed industry intellectual property through practical measures. Since last year, the 'Tianzhiya' intellectual property investigation team has handled a total of 4 criminal cases involving agricultural inputs and plant breeding involving 11 people, achieving good investigation results, "Wu Zhibang told reporters. It is reported that in recent years, the procuratorial organs of Sanya City have actively participated in the joint action for the protection of intellectual property rights of new plant varieties in the Nanfan Breeding Base, providing support for the formulation of the joint action plan for the protection of intellectual property rights of new plant varieties in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, and the production of the service manual for infringement and rights protection of new plant varieties. In April of this year, the Intellectual Property Protection Center of Sanya Procuratorate signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Jointly Promoting Cooperation in Intellectual Property Protection with the Sanya Intellectual Property Protection Center. By establishing and improving mechanisms for resource sharing and work exchange, the procuratorial organs provide full cycle and comprehensive judicial protection for seed industry technology innovation for seed industry enterprises and breeding bases in the south. As the closure of Hainan Free Trade Port enters the countdown, more breeding units and enterprises will settle in the South Breeding Base, and the judicial protection of the seed industry will also face new challenges. Our hospital will closely focus on the strategic goal of 'strengthening through planting' in Sanya City, strengthen cooperation among multiple departments, continuously enhance the judicial protection mechanism for the southern breeding industry, create a legal business environment for the revitalization of the seed industry, and contribute prosecutorial strength to the high-quality development of Hainan Free Trade Port. ”The relevant person in charge of the suburban procuratorate of Sanya City stated.
