What are the requirements for the protection of new plant varieties under UPOV? Explan.
The requirements for protection under UPOV require distinctness. The variety must be distinguishable from any other variety which is publicly known at the time of filing the application. The variety must have predictable characteristics and be able to be reliably reproduced. The additional requirement under the 1991 Convention states that the variety must be 'new'. The word 'new' is held to mean that the variety has not been sold or otherwise disposed of by the breeder for commercial purposes prior to filing for protection. However, similarly to a utility patent, natural source material is not protectable. The UPOV Convention does allow a 12 month 'grace period' for sales of the new variety before protection is no longer available (Article 6(1b)).
The latest Convention protects all plant varieties including those that are 'essentially derived' i.e. plants which require the protected variety
