Plant Variety Protection
We advise farmers, tree nurseries, cooperatives and companies on the registration, preservation and enforcement of their rights on plant varieties, with a special focus on one of South Tyrol’s predominant agricultural products: the apple.
In the field of plant variety law, we
- represent our clients before the national and European plant variety offices for the registration and the preservation of a protected variety
- draft contracts for the management and the distribution of the variety (e.g., licensing contracts or assignment contracts), also in close connection, if necessary, with related trademark aspects
- defend plant variety rights in court (e.g., in cases of illegal sales or reproduction of protected plant varieties)
Through specific training and decades of experience, our law firm has acquired comprehensive expertise in the regulations concerning plant variety protection.
