Plant breeders’ rights
New plant varieties can be protected by the so-called breeders’ rights system. This can be done both nationally and internationally, for example through Community plant breeders’ rights.
A breeders’ certificate is only granted for a new variety which is sufficiently uniform and stable.
- New: A variety is new if it clearly distinguishes itself from any other variety by one or more relevant features.
- Homogenous: The variety must be sufficiently homogeneous, considering the distinctive features inherent to its sexual or asexual propagation.
- Stable: The new variety must continue to conform to the description given in the breeder's certificate.
brantsandpatents has solid experience in applying for plant breeders’ rights internationally.
