Naktuinbouw issued a book entitled Framework for the introduction of Plant Breeders’ Rights, Guidance for Practical Implementation, the handbook describes the implementation of Plant Breeders’ Rights in countries considering setting up a UPOV-based system of Plant Breeders’ Rights or that have just become members of UPOV.

The book was written by Dr. A.J.P. van Wijk and Dr. N.P. Louwaars. Both authors are alumni of the University of Wageningen and have a long track record in Plant Breeders’ Rights and the implementation of Plant Breeders’ Rights systems in countries where no such system existed. For companies this book is an ideal gift for authorities in countries where a good working Plant Breeders’ Rights system does not yet function.
