Keywords:: genetic modification; patent system; scientific development; technological monopoly

Abstract:: Whether they are imported from foreign countries or produced domestically with independentintellectual property rights，genetic modification technologies are increasingly popular in China. Behind thegenetic modified products，there is a game and competition for patent and behind a patent，there is fierce rivalrybetween different international oligarchs and the people as well as their government. Patent protection canpromote innovation and suppress it as well. When it comes to a very special genetic modification technology，China should take active measures to cope with the paradox mentioned above：according to the characteristicsof the technology at issue，we should build a more effective patent system so that people’s property rightscan be better protected，benefits and risks more evenly shared and science and technology enjoy long-termdevelopment in China.
