Plant Varieties (Proprietary Rights) (Amendment) Regulations, 2000 (S.I. No. 490 of 2000). Country/Territory Ireland Document type Regulation Date 2000 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Cultivated plants Keyword Plant production Authorization/permit Intellectual property rights/patents Breeders' rights/farmers' rights Plant variety Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, European Union Countries, North Atlantic, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Abstract These Regulations which implement certain amendments and extensions to the Plant Varieties (Proprietary Rights) Act, 1980 prescribe: (1) the crop species to which the grant of rights applies; (2) duration of rights; (3) fees to be charged. They allow the holder of an Irish grant of plant breeders' rights to keep in place his national plant breeders' rights (but without exercising such rights) and thereby retain the option of reverting to the exercise of national plant breeders' rights if the Community plant breeders' rights are surrendered, by payment of a special reduced renewal fee.
