What are plant breeders' rights?
Plant variety protection, or plant breeders’ rights, grants exclusivity to those who develop new plant varieties through rigorous research and development. This exclusivity means that no one can reproduce or commercially benefit from the variety without the breeder’s authorization. It’s a safeguard that not only protects the breeder’s investment but also encourages further innovation in the field.
Why protecting plant breeders'rights?
In the dynamic world of agriculture, innovation is key to sustaining and enhancing our food systems. One critical aspect of this innovation is the protection of plant varieties, a form of intellectual property known as plant breeders’ rights. This right is not just a legal framework; it’s a powerful tool that ensures the hard work and creativity of plant breeders are recognized and rewarded.
