Plant variety protection (PVP) grants breeders exclusive rights over new plant varieties that are distinct, uniform, and stable. This legal framework encourages agricultural innovation while ensuring access to high-quality seeds. In Nepal, PVP covers crops, horticulture, and other plants that meet the necessary criteria. At CIPN, we assist breeders, agricultural companies, and research institutions with PVP applications, documentation, and compliance with local laws. We also help enforce breeders’ rights against unauthorized reproduction or sale. Protecting a new plant variety can open up commercial opportunities, attract investment, and contribute to food security. Our team ensures that breeders receive fair recognition and returns for their contributions.
