InGen Vs. Biosyn: Major corporations behind the Jurassic World franchise, explained

Jurassic World tried to restore that creative decline in the franchise and even achieved that to some extent before succumbing to a similar fate as the original trilogy. Although the return of Alan Grant, played by Sam Neill, and Ellie Sattler, played by Laura Dern, didn't do much to save the franchise, they did save the day by contributing to preventing a giant locust outbreak.

The sixth film introduces a company dubbed BioSyn that plans something evil by using these larger-than-life locusts. But the company isn't just a new introduction to the series to revive 'the lost world'; it has been there since day one, just that we never got to hear that name.

Then there's InGen, a company that served as the engine to what we know as Jurassic Park. Though they aren't an entirely evil entity, they are about science and try to bring once-extinct species, dinosaurs, to be precise, and develop Jurassic Park. But in corporate wars, no matter how good the intentions are, chaos reigns. That said, this universe is plagued with a war between InGen and Biosyn.

It all began with John Hammond's InGen

The original story begins with an idea where John Hammond, and Benjamin Lockwood, were struck with this idea of cloning dinosaurs, and years later, that idea is about to lead us to Jurassic World Rebirth.

InGen was into biological tampering that initially gave birth to clones like miniature animals. That was a move into securing funding for the company from investors. In the novel, Hammond acted like a magician in a circus who pulled the curtain from a cage to reveal an animal; he was indeed small, and investors loved these creations.

By this time, Hammond hadn't yet founded the company but eventually secured enough funding that would be used by International Genetic Technologies, Inc.,—yes, that's the full name.

Last we know, after the conclusion of the Jurassic Park trilogy, Masrani Global Corporation bought it as we got to know in the first Jurassic World film. However, throughout the films, fans might never have noticed it but BioSyn played its part in compromising its rival's workings.

BioSyn has been there since before the Jurassic World trilogy

Remember Wayne Knight's Dennis Nedry from the first Jurassic Park film? The most comic scene in the entire franchise? If not, let us remind you, that's the same obese guy behind the computers who comes across this venom-spitting (and fun-loving) Dilophosaurus and is killed while we see a container he carried being buried under the mud as it rains cats and dogs.

That container contains frozen dinosaur embryos, property of InGen, that Nedry was supposed to deliver to Lewis Dodgson (Cameron Thor). Dodgson is an employee of Biosyn by this time, and returns as the company CEO after three decades in Jurassic World: Dominion. Though Biosyn's name isn't revealed until the sixth film in the franchise, all the events essentially happened as in the novels.

Biosyn is known to steal ideas from scientists, which we see in Jurassic World: Dominion. They too are known for cloning extinct animals but their dominating force remains these genetically engineered giant locusts that can easily give a person nightmares when they sleep.

That name, Biosyn, is short for Biology Synthetics Technologies, Inc., but that's more like Bio-Sin, because, obviously.
