International Journal of Intellectual Property Management (IJIPM), Vol. 10, No. 4, 2020

Abstract: We propose to analyse the restructuring of the seed market in Brazil in the face of the recognition of intellectual property rights, by Law no. 9,456/1997, analysing the repercussions of this in the last 20 years. It can be inferred that it changed the model of technology generation in the field of seed production. There was a restructuring of the seed market, an increase in the number of institutions and companies, public and private, national and foreign, as well as increased partnerships between these companies. The intensification of competition has translated into benefits for farmers in general - who had access to a more diversified supply of seeds. This scenario allowed Brazil to become a world power in agribusiness, in view of the fact that significant increases in production and productivity were achieved.
