Plant variety (law)
Plant variety
is a legal term, following the
International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants
(UPOV) Convention. Recognition of a cultivated
plant
(a
cultivar
) as a "variety" in this particular sense provides its
breeder
with some legal protection, so-called
plant breeders' rights
, depending to some extent on the internal legislation of the UPOV signatory countries, such as the
Plant Variety Protection Act
in the US.
