摘要

Imagine a farmer walking through a huge, flourishing cornfield. The corn in the field was planted and cultivated by him. The farmer would then save this seed to either use as a source of food for himself and his livestock or as a source of seed for next year's crop. Because of an intellectual property rights system that recognizes plants and seeds as being corporate inventions, what used to be one of this farmer's highest duties is now recognized as a crime: the right to save the seed that he or shehas grown. How, after all of the backbreaking work that the farmer has put into his own crops, can one say that the seed left over after harvesting the corn does not belong to the farmer? The left over seed would not belong to the farmer if intellectualproperty laws protected the genetic technology contained within the seed. These intellectual property laws dictate that the owner of the seed's genetic technology is also the owner of any subsequent seed produced by the harvest.
