An Innovative Method in Microbial Intellectual Property Protection through Integrating Cryptography with Gene Editing
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Microbes play an essential role in the rapid advancement of modern biotechnology. It serves as a key foundation of the biological industry. Enhancing development and innovation across various fields. However, intellectual property protection (IPP) for microbes faces significant challenges. Traditional IPP methods grant right-holders a period of exclusivity while requiring them to publish technical details that may result in underlying damage. On the other hand, although trade secret protection can help avoid the public disclosure of technologies, it faces its own challenges. Rapid information dissemination may lead to an underlying breach that would cause an immediate loss of legal protection on intellectual property (IP). To address the challenge, this study proposes an innovative strategy that combines cryptography with gene editing technology to resolve the dilemma. This strategy illustrated a competitive advantage with its high level of confidentiality, ability to establish unique identities, and potential to drive industrial development. Adopting this strategy holds the promise of resolving the challenges traditional IPP methods face.
