SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
PROGRAMME
12.45 - 13.30 The Plant Variety Rights Intensive Module is a two-day seminar
focused on the Intellectual Property system of protection of plant
varieties, the Community Plant Variety system, the International
Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), the
technical examination conducted at the Spanish Office of Plant
Varieties (OEVV) of the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Enviroment, and at the Naktuinbouw Variety Testing Department.
The protection of plant varieties is a sui generis Intellectual Property right, mostly applied world-wide. The purpose of the system is
to stimulate new breeders and new breeding work, thereby increasing domestic and international market scope.
THURSDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2014
The UPOV mission statement refers to “the aim of encouraging the
development of new varieties of plants, for the benefit of society”.
The range of benefits includes economic, health, environmental
benefits and even pure pleasure, for example with ornamental
plants. At the same time, an Intellectual Property right for plant varieties incentivises breeders to invest in research and develop new
varieties, meeting sustainability objectives. Moreover, the breeder’s
exemption facilitates innovation in variety development and encourages competition in the breeding industry.
The two-day programme will take a close look at the main topics
related to plant variety protection at EU and international level.
