Only varieties which succeed in the market place are rewarded.<\/p><p>Plant breeding is funded through Plant Breeders\u2019 Rights, a unique, internationally recognised form of intellectual property applied to each new plant variety.<\/p><p>It provides the breeder with a time-limited monopoly over the production and sale of propagating material of his protected variety but leaves the source, the genetic material, open for use by others.<\/p><p>To be granted Plant Breeders\u2019 Rights a variety must be Distinct, Uniform, Stable (DUS). It must also be novel and have an approved name.<\/p><p>The granting of Plant Breeders\u2019 Rights delivers protection and return for individual breeders\u2019 past efforts. It also stimulates continued research and improvement by ensuring that all protected varieties are freely available for use in future breeding programmes. Known as the \u2018breeder\u2019s exemption\u2019 this process has underpinned the major advances seen in crop development over the past 40 years.<\/p><p>The International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants was adopted in Paris in 1961 and revised in 1972, 1978 and 1991. The objective of the Convention is the protection of new varieties of plants by an intellectual property right. By codifying intellectual property for plant breeders, UPOV aims to encourage the development of new varieties of plants for the benefit of society.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8002\" aria-expanded=\"false\">ISF\u2019s Position<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8002\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8002\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Both Plant Breeder\u2019s Rights (PBR) \u2013 also referred to as Plant Variety Protection (PVP) and\u00a0Plant Variety Rights (PVR) \u2013 and patents are needed to stimulate the full scope of innovation in agricultural sciences. The most effective IP system balances protection as an incentive for innovation and access, enabling others to further improve plant varieties. Therefore, ISF considers that the preferred form of protection for varieties <em>per se<\/em> is through Plant Breeders Rights.<\/p><p>PBR include the breeder\u2019s exception, the objective of which is to allow access to and use for further breeding of commercial varieties that are protected under PBR. The breeder\u2019s exception is one of the cornerstones of the PBR system. When patents are used in the field of plant breeding,\u00a0a balance can be achieved through attention to the definition of patentable subject matter, the scope and quality of patent claims, the duration of patent protection, and exceptions to the patent right for research and breeding.<\/p><p>For more information see the ISF position paper:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldseed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/View_on_Intellectual_Property_2012.pdf\">ISF View on Intellectual Property (2012).<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strong and effective Intellectual Property protection drives plant breeding Facebook Twitter Youtube Linkedin Plant Breeders\u2019 Rights ISF\u2019s Position Plant Breeders\u2019 Rights Plant breeding involves a major investment in people, technology and facilities.
