Plant Breeders' Rights Registers
Plant Variety Protection
If you have developed a new plant variety, you have created a valuable asset for the agricultural sector. At UNAPI S.R.L. de C.V., we help you protect your innovation through the Plant Breeder's Title.
What are they and why should we protect them?
A plant variety is a group of plants with unique and stable genetic characteristics. The Plant Breeder's Title gives you the exclusive right to control the production and sale of your new variety. Protecting your innovation is key to:
- Rewarding your investment: Recognizing the effort and resources devoted to research.
- Stimulating innovation: Encouraging the development of varieties with better qualities.
- Control marketing: Ensure that only you, or those you authorize, can exploit it.
Requirements for protection
To protect a variety, it must meet four criteria:
- New: That it has not been sold or transferred before the deadlines established by law.
- Distinction: It should have clear characteristics that distinguish it from other varieties.
- Homogeneity: Uniform in its essential characteristics.
- Stability: That its characteristics remain consistent throughout reproductions.
