The Unitary Patent Court has started its work, meaning that legal disputes relating to the new Unitary Patent will be heard by the Unified Patent Court (UPC). During this presentation, Fleur will explain the importance of the Unitary Patent System for horticultural plant breeders. 10:15 – 10:45 – Networking Coffee Break 10:45 – 12:00 The Legal Treatment of Harvested Material Speakers: Isabel Pérez-Cabrero and Pedro Tent Alonso, Garrigues The session will explain the notion of “Harvested Material” in Plant Variety Rights law, analyzing the cumulative conditions imposed on the protection of Harvested Material under both UPOV 1991 and the EU Plant Variety Rights legislation. We will also carry out a practical analysis through the existing comparative case law on the subject and will discuss the impact of exhaustion on the cascade protection of Harvested Material. 12:00 – 13:15 – Networking lunch 13:15 – 14:30 Life after PVR: How to maintain Licensing Revenue post-PVR Speaker: Carolina Cordero di Vonzo, Baker McKenzie Developing new plant varieties involves huge investments in terms of time and resources. The protection granted by Plant Variety Rights will then last only a set period of time, which for your most successful varieties may seem short. In addition, PVR protection can be lost for a number of reasons. This seminar aims at illustrating ways to maintain a revenue stream after your variety is no longer protected as a PVR, looking at the most common licensing schemes and their limitations, as well as at alternative revenue sources and relevant case law. 14:30 – 15:00 – Networking Coffee Break 15:00 – 16:15 How to set up and handle an effective Customs Enforcement for PBRs Speakers: Alexandra Sapir, Grapa Varieties and Giacomo Moleri, Spheriens Avvocati Setting up an effective customs protection program is the first step in the effective enforcement of PBRs. Enforcing these rights before Customs requires particular knowledge of the legislation and of the local practices. In the panel, we will discuss the issue from the point of view of both an IP owner and a counsel, with practical pieces of advice and suggestions taken from real-life cases. 16:15 – 16:45 – Networking Coffee Break 16:45 – 18:00 The road to digitalization: Insights for the movement of plants and plant products Speaker: Rose Souza Richards, ISF (Seed Health Manager) – online In this presentation, we’ll delve into the exciting and transformative journey of digitalization within the realm of plant and plant products movement, with a specific focus on the ePhyto system.
