Abstract:Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, biologists have shifted their work from understanding biology to modifying biology. Synthetic biology is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field, including the development and construction of synthetic DNA sequences, systems, genomes and industrial equipment. Obtaining the protection of intellectual property is an important means to promote the research and development of synthetic biology. This article comprehensively analyzes the development status of synthetic biology, intellectual property protection system, management and other related issues, and then explores solutions and recommended measures in this field in an all-round way; at the intellectual property protection level, it provides a reference for the development of synthetic biology in China.
