Don’t let plant breeder’s rights steal your tasty Christmas!
Plant Variety Rights (PVR) are an important and perhaps lesser known aspect of intellectual property that can significantly impact the food and feed industry. You may have encountered PVRs in passing but never fully considered their impact. As the holiday season fills shelves with seasonal treats and festive feasts, it’s worth asking: does a food product infringe PVRs when processing protected ingredients? Does the PVR holder have a claim on the final product? Are you allowed to refer to a protected variety’s name in your product labeling?
This session will provide an overview of how PVRs can affect your products, outline the legal and financial risks they may pose, and offer practical strategies for managing them. Understanding these aspects is key to ensuring compliance and protecting your company’s supply chain.
