农药产品大致可分为:专利期品种、过专利期品种及无专利品种。目前专利到期产品和非专利农药产品是农药的主要市场,约占农药市场70%的市场份额。保护农药知识产权,维护农药开发和技术创新的积极性,对维护农药行业的健康发展十分重要。农药领域的专利和行政保护较多,如何避免专利侵权及产权纠纷,也是农药企业十分关注的事情。“十二五”期间,我国将有多个农药品种的专利保护到期。本刊2012年第一期开始陆续介绍2011年-2015年专利到期的农药品种。敬请关注! Pesticide products can be broadly divided into: patent varieties, over patent varieties and non-patent varieties. The current patent expiration products and generic pesticide products are the major markets for pesticides, accounting for about 70% of the pesticide market share. Protecting the intellectual property of pesticides and maintaining the enthusiasm of pesticide development and technological innovation are very important to maintain the healthy development of the pesticide industry. There are more patents and administrative protections in the field of pesticides. How to avoid patent infringement and property rights disputes is also a matter of great concern to pesticide companies.
