Toelichting (Engels) | In 2017, the European Patent Office decided to stop awarding patents on plant characteristics obtained using traditional breeding techniques. As a result, applying for plant breeders’ rights is now the only option left in many cases. But these offer less protection. Some breeders are happy with this change, while others view the erosion of these intellectual property rights as a bad thing and would like to see plant breeders’ rights tightened up. | |
