Genetically modified (GM) plants producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are protected by patents. This study analyzes the status of patents covering PHA-producing GM plants, focusing on the production of GM tobacco expressing the phaC gene of Aeromonas caviae for PHA synthesis. Thirty patent applications for PHAs producing GM plants were identified. Patent applications covering the design of GM tobacco expressing the A. caviae phaC gene for biosynthesis of PHAs in peroxisomes were found from our searches; five safeguard the rights on the A. caviae phaC gene, and three protect the transit peptide. In addition, 96 records related to Nicotiana tabacum breeder’s rights were identified, with 22 varieties still protected.
Las plantas modificadas genéticamente (GM) productoras de polihidroxialcanoatos (PHA) son protegidas por patentes. Este estudio analiza el estado de las patentes que protegen las plantas GM productoras de PHA, centrándose en la producción de tabaco GM que expresa el gen phaC de Aeromonas caviae para la síntesis de PHA. Se identificaron 30 solicitudes de patentes para plantas GM productoras de PHAs. De las solicitudes de patentes vigentes que cubren el diseño de tabaco GM que expresa el gen phaC de A. caviae para la biosíntesis de PHAs en peroxisomas, cinco patentes cubren el gen phaC de A. caviae y tres patentes cubren el péptido de tránsito. Además, se identificaron 96 registros relacionados con los títulos de obtentor de Nicotiana tabacum dentro de los cuales 22 variedades aún se encuentran protegidas.
