What will I learn?

There are currently three options that exist in the U.S. for protecting a novel asexually reproduced plant variety: Plant Patent, “Varietal” Utility Patent, and Plant Variety Protection. Which of these is most appropriate for a particular variety depends upon numerous factors, including the timing of the first sale, anticipated value of the variety, and the competitive activities you are trying to prevent. Additionally, these types of protection are not mutually exclusive, so a breeder could obtain multiple types of protection over a variety. Thus, it is important for a breeder to consider which type(s) of protection should be secured for a particular variety. This presentation will discuss the factors and decision points, and will further analyze how multiple types of IP protection can be combined to further secure the variety and, in certain cases, to overcome challenges that are imposed by the doctrine of patent exhaustion.
