PIRACY

business that can't stand the light of day




REPORT INFRINGEMENT / PIRACY HERE!

Piracy (infringement of Plant Breeders’ Rights) is also a major problem in the
seed potato sector. Something that is successful will always run the risk of
being unwantedly copied. Plant breeders lose out on a portion of their income
that way, by not being paid for the use of their exclusive legal property and
through disruption of the market due to the illegal trade in non-certified
propagation of seed potatoes). The plant breeder does have the option, though,
of legally protecting his new variety against this form of piracy. Legally
protected seed potato varieties fall under the so-called Plant Breeders’ Rights
(PBR) act. In the EU, a variety can be protected under the PBR act for a period
of 30 years.



Piracy is stealing from the breeder who direly needs the licensing fees to
recoup his made investments, in order to be able to continue to focus on the
development of new plant varieties. Breeders Trust takes firm action against
breeders and traders who make profit this way, people who are fully aware that
they are violating the rights of other plant breeders.
