  • Lalitha N

Abstract

As Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights have been extended to agriculture, member countries are forced to provide intellectual property protection to plant varieties. As a member country, India has also passed the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Bill, 2001. A significant feature of this Bill is that protection is extended not only to new varieties but also to extant varieties, farmers’ varieties and essentially derived varieties. [GIDR WP No. 136].
