As part of this package, we’ll apply to IP Australia to register your plant variety via Plant Breeders’ Rights.
This will involve an initial consultation with a Sprintlaw lawyer to ensure you have all the information required to proceed with the application.
The application process consists of several parts:
– Applying to IP Australia
– Identifying an appropriate Qualified Person (QP) to assist in growing trials
– If your initial application is successful, and a growing trial has been completed with the assistance of a Qualified Person, then we’ll help with applying to IP Australia for full PBR protection (20-years for most plant species, and 25 years for vines and trees).
This package also includes complimentary monitoring of your PBR application up until registration. If there are any issues raised by IP Australia during the examination of your application, we will provide a free consultation in relation to the issue and, if any substantial action is required, we may provide a fixed-fee quote.
Please note: Additional plant varieties cost $ 1400 + GST per variety.
