Alanna will focus her presentation on bad faith registrations of Plant Variety Rights and Trade Marks in China. For each Intellectual Property Right, she will identify what are bad faith registrations, the current situation/practice in China, the legal protections available and processes for challenging such applications and registrations and the practical measures that breeders can take to prepare and protect from such applications in China.

During this session, the speaker will analyze the impact on Plant Variety Rights protection for ‘harvested material’ of the recent CJEU decision in the Nadorcott mandarin case. The decision, which is to a great extent inspired by the UPOV Explanatory Notes on harvested material, is potentially dangerous as it suggests a limitative interpretation of what amounts to ‘unauthorized use’, particularly during the period of provisional protection. The speaker will discuss solutions going forward, both in terms of licensing, enforcement and advocacy.
