Feasibility study of legal protection of digital sequence information

The entry of digital sequence information into databases and gene bank has provided a new horizon of legal challenges and the feasibility of legal protection for this type of asset. The lack of need for genetic resources and the lack of a protection legal system in international documents are the reasons for those who seek trade and profit, without the obligation to pay, and have challenged the principle of ownership. Sequence suppliers, on the other hand, argue the nature of digital sequence information has not changed, there is no evidence that ownership has been lost, or there is no reason that ownership has been transferred, conceive digital sequence information within legal protection frameworks. They say you have to pay for using the sequence. By analyzing and adapting the current support systems for digital sequence, the paper evaluates them as inadequate and proposes a new system for legal protection of this emerging technology.
