A panel of scientists and policy experts from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations discuss key questions of intellectual property (IP) control over the genome editing of agricultural crop species with CRISPR. What are the stakes of getting the balance between control and access right? What are the controversies and unknowns, especially at the intersections of IP and other domains of innovation in an essential industry like agriculture? How is the IP landscape affecting innovation in agriculture? How does it influence R&D priorities? Who ends up controlling the trajectory of applications of genome editing? Where are the key conversations we need to be having regarding interrelationship between IP, in a narrow legal sense, and broader societal concerns over control and access of genome editing tools?
