A breeder’s exclusive right to a plant variety may be obtained for the variety which is distinct, homogenous, stable and new and its denomination meets the relevant formal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the national level, the exclusive breeder’s right to a variety is granted by the Director of the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing (Centralny O\u015brodek Badania Odmian Ro\u015blin Uprawnych, COBORU). The territorial scope of such a right corresponds to the territory of Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also possible to obtain an exclusive plant variety right at the EU level, namely a Community plant variety right (CPVR) granted by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) located in Angers, France. The territorial scope of such a right covers the entire European Union and it takes precedence over national rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exclusive plant variety right gives the authorized breeder a certain degree of exclusivity for the commercial exploitation of the seed of the protected variety (production and propagation, sale, export or storage) and lasts 30 years (for vine, tree and potato varieties) or 25 years (for varieties of other genera).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
