ENFORCEMENT OF BREEDERS’ RIGHTS

![Page 41: Introduction to UPOV/ Role of PVP in Technology Transfer ...eapvp.org/files/report/docs/vietnam/1_Introduction to UPOV.pdfExplanatory notes UPOV/EXN/ENF/ 1 .

Key findings
• Recalled that:
– To obtain the full benefit of the UPOV PVP system it is necessary to have effective enforcement measures
– It is primarily the responsibility of breeders to enforce their rights
– UPOV members are required to provide for appropriate legal remedies for effective enforcement
41

Cont. Key findings • Impact of lack of, or insufficient,
effective enforcement
– Agricultural productivity endangered – Livelihood of farmers and rural economies put
at risk – Introduction of improved varieties and genetics
delayed – Investment in breeding reduced – Disease problems increased – Reduced tax income

Cont. Key Findings
Noted that the list of enforcement measures in the Explanatory Notes on the Enforcement of Breeders' Rights under the UPOV Convention (UPOV/EXN/ENF/1 see at http://www.upov.int/upov_collection/en/) are still relevant for UPOV members and have proven to be useful in the development of laws of existing and future members

Cont. Key Findings
Reinforced the importance of continuing the exchange of experiences and information through:
– Seminars, UPOV website, breeders’ initiatives – Information reported in the Working Group on
Biochemical and Molecular Techniques, and DNA-Profiling in Particular (BMT). The BMT is a group open to DUS experts, biochemical and molecular specialists and plant breeders (see in BMT papers in “Breeders Day” concerning the use of molecular techniques in examining essential derivation and in variety identification at http://www.upov.int/meetings/en/topic.jsp)

Session 1- challenges and opportunities Some examples of PBR infringements identified
– Propagation beyond authorized quantities – Unauthorized exports/imports – Packaging of harvested crop (e.g. grain, ware potatoes) for sale as
propagating material (e.g. brown/white bagging) – Use of farm-saved seed in a way that does not comply with relevant
legislation – Sale of a protected variety under another name – Other companies selling propagating material of protected varieties
as their own – Unprotected inbred lines used to produce protected hybrids – Protected inbred lines used to produce protected hybrids or hybrids
that are not granted protection in their own right – Unauthorized vegetative propagation of hybrid varieties – Unauthorized propagation from “stubs” (i.e. plants with tops
removed)

Cont. Session 1- challenges and opportunities
• Challenges breeders are facing – very easy to reproduce a variety. Cost of reproduction is
low – hard to differentiate between illegitimate and legitimate
propagating material and very difficult to obtain evidence of infringing material
• Initiatives endorsed by breeders – work with end users – work with relevant authorities (including certification
agencies, phytosanitary services, customs, police, tax authorities, anti-fraud agencies, etc.)
– invest in gaining understanding by farmers – organizations acting on behalf of breeders – Investigate possibilities for markers to be included in

Session 2 – Experiences of UPOV members demonstrated
• Benefits of including breeders’ rights in other
measures for intellectual property enforcement
• Role of relevant bodies and authorities in the provision of information to the breeder regarding propagating material of varieties
• DNA-Profiling has an important role to play (e.g. prima facie evidence, suspicion of possible infringement)
