EUROPEAN INNOVATION COUNCIL AND SMES EXECUTIVE AGENCY - Webinar in Cooperation with CIOPORA: Enforcement Practices for Plant Variety Rights in the EU

Increasingly, plant breeders and Plant Breeders’ Right (PBR) title-holders are facing illegal propagation of their registered varieties in different countries. While the law enforcement is similar to other IP rights, such as trademarks, the enforcement activities in PBR may be more challenging due to the specific character of the rights' subject – a perishable living plant – and the botanical expertise required for the variety identification. The training session will provide a comprehensive overview of the enforcement tools available to the holders of PBR in the European Union. This webinar is part of a training collaboration between CIOPORA and the European IP Helpdesk.
