EU Plant Variety Rights Case Law Database

The Community Plant Variety Office has a new database on Plant Variety Rights case law. It consists of a compilation of cases combined with a search tool.

The database provides summaries of case law exclusively in English. It also provides the full text judgments in their original language. Please note that the documents supplied are not the official version of the decisions taken by jurisdictions within the EU. If you wish to have access to the official text, please directly consult the organism which officially took the decision concerned.

The Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) implements the European system for the protection of plant variety rights. The system allows intellectual property rights, valid throughout the Community, to be granted for plant varieties.
