4 Reasons 4 Plant Varieties Protection
Plant Variety Rights (PVR) are a form of intellectual property protection granted to breeders who develop new plant varieties. By securing PVR, breeders can prevent others from reproducing or selling their varieties without permission, giving them a legal framework to safeguard their innovations.
The CPVO manages the PVR system in Europe since 30 Years.
PVR are crucial for encouraging investment in plant breeding and agricultural innovation. They ensure that breeders are recognised and rewarded for their work, allowing them to benefit financially from their creations. This protection supports market competitiveness by enabling breeders to maintain or grow their market share, knowing that their unique varieties cannot be legally copied.
