Plant Breeders’ Rights in Israel are exclusive rights granted by the state to inventors and developers of new plant varieties. These rights are conferred through a certificate of registration issued in the name of the developer, providing them with exclusive control under specific conditions.
The Israeli Plant Breeders’ Rights are governed by the Plant Breeders Rights Act of 1973, which is primarily based on the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV Convention) of 1962. The UPOV Convention has since been amended, and Israel became a member in 1984.
Our firm specializes in advising and handling the registration of Plant Breeders’ Rights for new plant varieties. We also manage related litigation, including opposition proceedings and the provision of legal opinions for such cases.
