• SURRENDERED: the right or registration has been cancelled by the title holder before its foreseeable end. 
• TERMINATED: the right or registration has been cancelled by the relevant office before its foreseeable end
• EXPIRED: after the variety registration reached the end of the period of validity or the duration of protection has expired.
