The competition for interests on intellectual property rights of genetic resources among developed countries, developing countries, traditional communities, and tribes has now become an environmental economic dialogue in the area of genetic resources and also become a new commanding height to countries and stakeholders in this area. The protection strategies for the intellectual property rights of genetic resources, together with the relevant institutional arrangements, serve as a retrospect to and a redefinition of ＂the generation and accumulation of historical treasures＂ and also a ＂redemption to the history＇： These strategies should be systematic, as given the ＂diachronicity＂ of genetic resources and the multanimity of stakeholders, and cover the following seven aspects： consolidating the environmental connotation of IPR strategies and deepening the value targets; advancing mutual assistance between statutory laws and folk laws＂ and reflecting the folk resources relevant to the governance by law,＂ introducing the methodology of collectivism so as to restrain individualism; preserving traditional knowledge and expanding the scope of objects to be adjusted; establishing a new type of right, namely the property rights in genetic information,＂ improving safeguard procedures which include the prior informed consent and the disclosure of origin; and strengthening reviews to the environment where the intellectual property system of genetic resources operates. Through these efforts, we can promote the IPR strategies for genetic resources on multiple levels.
