Description Increased demand for food triggered by the fast-growing
human population, the need to sustain biodiversity, and
the spurt in investments in agricultural research by
private sector have resulted in seeking the Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR) for the valuable research products.
This has led to the introduction of plant variety protection
legislations across the world particularly in European
countries and in the USA. International efforts to
harmonize the IPRs across countries to improve trade has
led to various conventions [including Union Pour la
Protection des Obtentions Végétales (UPOV) 1991]
leading to the establishment of guidelines on Plant
Breeder’s Rights (PBRs). This was followed by Uruguay
round of deliberations resulting in Trade Related
Intellectual Property (TRIPs) rights in 1995. The Article
27.3 (b) of TRIPs agreement makes it mandatory for the
member countries to provide protection for plant
varieties either by patents, by an effective sui-generis
system, or any combination thereof for effective
protection of intellectual property. The Government of
India enacted a Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers
Rights (PPV&FR) act during 2001, and consequently
National Plant Authority has been established to facilitate
the registration of plant varieties.
