Plant Breeder's Rights
Plant Breeder's Rights (PBR) are exclusive commercial rights to a registered variety of plant. Varieties protected by PBR may only be produced for sale, sold, imported, exported or conditioned with the authority of the owner.
If you are the original breeder of a new variety of plant, or have acquired ownership rights from the original breeder, then you can apply for PBR under the Plant Breeder's Rights Act 1994. Please note that only new or recently exploited varieties can be registered. Apply for the rights using application forms available from the PBR Office.
