Evaluation of the EU legislation on plant variety rights

Official consultation page

This evaluation aims to assess the EU legislation on plant variety rights. These are a type of intellectual property rights for the industrial protection of plant varieties. An operator who breeds a plant variety can be granted such rights under certain conditions. These rights would allow a return on the investment in breeding. This system aims to stimulate the continued breeding of improved varieties. The findings of this evaluation will help consider whether a revision of this legislation is required.
