In recent years, the importance of plant breeding has been recognized by major transnational seed companies around the world. These companies invest heavily in research and development (R&D) activities and acquire patents on new plant varieties and breeding technologies.However, the concentration of plant breeding technology patents in the hands of a few transnational seed companies has raised concerns about monopolistic practices and potential negative impacts on the global agriculture industry. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the patent landscape of plant breeding technology owned by major transnational seed companies in order to identify potential gaps, overlaps, and trends in their patent layouts.Objectives:1. To identify the major transnational seed companies and their patents related to plant breeding technology.2. To analyze the patent layout of these companies and identify potential gaps, overlaps, and trends in their patent portfolios.3. To explore the potential impact of concentrated patent ownership on the global agriculture industry.Methodology:This study will use a quantitative research approach and a patent analysis method to investigate the patent layout of major transnational seed companies. The methodology will include the following steps:精品文档---下载后可任意编辑1. Identifying t...
