This webinar provides an overview of the Community Plant Variety Rights (CPVR) system and the role of the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) in administering plant variety protection within the European Union.

Learn how the CPVR system operates, its legal and administrative framework, and how it contributes to the promotion of innovation, the protection of breeders, and the development of new plant varieties. The session also explains the procedures for obtaining protection, outlines the scope of the rights granted, and highlights the importance of plant variety protection in fostering sustainable and competitive agriculture across Europe.
