Plant Variety Protection (PVP) is an alternative to plant patent.

The Congressional Plant Variety Protection (PVP) Act of 1970 grants legal intellectual property rights protection to novel plant varieties that is uniform, stable, and distinct (DUS) from all other varieties.

It is the responsibility of the inventor to apply for protection and inform the buyers if a variety is protected.

This training seminar addresses all aspects of PVPO rules and regulations, including suitable application materials and support documentation for filing and most importantly avoiding common mistakes or omissions in order to elude governmental red tape. Approaches for protecting, defending and implementing plant variety intellectual property rights will also be covered.
