American Plant Breeders' Rights - technical testing
About the technical report
To apply for American Plant Breeders' Rights (Certificate of Protection), the applicant must submit a technical report to the Plant Variety Protection Office (PVPO) in the United States.
The technical report includes the following:
- Breeding history
- Distinctness
- An objective variety description
- Additional information
- A declaration of ownership
- With tuber propagated varieties - verification that a cell culture is available
The PVPO has lists with characteristics that must be described for almost all crops. These characteristics often differ from the characteristics in the UPOV guidelines. Variety Testing can provide an objective variety description and the sense of distinctness with respect to the best comparator(s) for this purpose. The other parts of the technical report are completed by the applicant. The applicant submits the application to the PVPO.
