Plant Breeders’ Rights
New plant varieties receive intellectual property protection through the specialized UPOV system. To obtain registration, a variety must meet novelty, denomination, distinctness, uniformity and stability criteria – the latter three examined through DUS testing. In Chile, the Agricultural and Livestock Service’s Seed Division handles new variety registrations. Jarry IP has a trained team advising the complete process for trees, vines and other plant varieties from application through registration.
