Plant Varieties


We have specialist expertise in obtaining plant variety rights (sometimes called ‘plant breeders’ rights’).

We can assist you in obtaining and enforcing rights protecting new varieties of plants, and can also provide advice on infringement risk relating to plant variety rights held by other parties.

We have extensive experience acting as representatives before the Community Plant Variety Office to secure European Union-wide plant variety rights, and can also help you obtain national listing status for plant varieties in the UK.
