Didn't bother to read the article, because the title seems silly. Firstly, we don't have a clue about the genetic architecture of intelligence, so genetic engineering is a ways off. Secondly, what is GRM ("Genetic Rights Management") going to look like? Copy-protection of genes almost seems like a contradiction in terms.

GRM can be as simple as a corporation owns rights to certain genes and thus owns a part of the income of those who happens to have these genes. Yes, children inherit the genes and thus owe to that company. The GRM rights can be bought or sold, like IP rights. Various regulations will determine how much we owe per gene.
