IN EUROPE. The manufacturing partnership in Horizon Europe Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, September 2021, (EFFRA). The latest SRIA from AIOTI is in the final stages of preparation and will be later integrated into the second version of this document.7 This second version will revise the later versions of such documents produced across all associations and make a comparison to the current analysis to detect changes in directions, emerging themes, and relative importance.
IN EUROPE. (i) Criteria for protection The situation in Europe is characterised by the coexistence of national laws and regulations on the one hand, and of a community regime of protection of plant breeders’ rights on the other hand. The Council Regulation EC 2100/94 implements the 1991 version of the UPOV Convention and is administered by the CPV Office, located in Angers, France. Community plant variety rights (hereafter “CPVRs”) have a uniform effect over the Community territory, once granted, but also when they are transferred or cancelled. It is not possible to hold simultaneously CPVRs and national plant variety rights or patents for the same variety. In situations where a national right pre-existed, such right is suspended until the term of the CPVR. Varieties of all botanical genera and species are entitled to protection. A plant grouping is defined as consisting of entire plants or parts of plants as far as such parts are capable of producing entire plants. The criteria of protection (DUS and novelty tests) are laid down by Art. 5 and 6 of Regulation 2100/94 and correspond to those defined by the UPOV convention. After issuance, the duration of a CPVR is 25 years (30 years for vines and trees).
IN EUROPE. Art. 13.8 of the EC Regulation 2100/94 posits a general caveat concerning the rights conferred by CPVRs. Without prejudice to farmers’ privilege and cross-licensing arrangements, the exercise of CPVRs shall not be contrary to public order, or to the protection of health and life of humans, animals or plants, or of the environment, or of industrial or commercial property, or to the safeguarding of competition and agriculture production.
IN EUROPE. In Europe, the Directive 98/44/EC on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions contemplates such a situation, and Article 12 designed a cross-licensing scheme between patents and plant breeders’ rights. The conditions set forth for such licenses are the following ones: – They must be compulsory licenses, – For a non-exclusive use, – Giving rise to appropriate royalties. This provision was inspired by the conditions listed in Art. 31 of the TRIPs (which is concerned only with compulsory licenses on patents). In particular, the applicant must give evidence of his/her unsuccessful attempt to obtain a contractual license; and the plant variety or the invention concerned must represent a significant technical progress of considerable economic interest. The Regulation 2100/94 on Community plant variety rights had to be amended accordingly, which was achieved by the Council Regulation (EC) 873/2004 that modifies Art. 29 of Regulation 2100/94. The new Regulation specifies the conditions of grant of cross-licenses.
