CIOPORA Germany Web: http://www.ciopora.org CIOPORA is the worldwide association that groups together the breeders of ornamental and fruit plant varieties of asexual reproduction, with a view to assist them in the protection of their intellectual property rights.
Founded in 1961, CIOPORA represents both, individual breeders as well as breeding companies that account for a vast majority of the most important plant varieties of the horticultural and fruit sectors.
Bearing also in mind that ornamental and fruit species represent an average of more than 60 % of all plant breeders’ rights, titles and plant patents granted worldwide, the importance for the association to take influence on plant variety protection legislation becomes obvious.
