Features of Legal Regulation of International Trade in Agriculture in the Context of Intellectual Property Protection in China and Russia

Abstract

The import and export of agricultural technologies allow China and Russia to play a leading role in the global intellectual property agenda. To protect public interests, China exercises control and supervision over the import and export of agricultural technologies. The legal system of control and supervision includes laws, administrative regulations, and departmental rules. China carries out registration management of contracts for the import and export of agricultural technologies. China carries out licensing management of contracts for the limited import and export of agricultural technologies, establishing procedures for applying for licenses for the limited import and export of agricultural technologies. In the current context of geopolitical transformation, Russia is actively improving its approaches to legally ensuring the sustainability of international trade in agriculture, modernizing its legislation on the legal protection of intellectual property, and taking necessary restrictive measures in this area of relations. This article analyzes key practices in the legal regulation of international trade in agriculture in the context of intellectual property protection in China and Russia.
