Abstract

These Regulations make provisions restricting the circumstances in which Section 37(3)(i) of the Registered Patents and Biotechnological Inventions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance, 2009 applies. Section 37(3)(i) of the 2009 Ordinance provides that an act which would otherwise constitute an infringement does not do so if (inter alia) it is the use by a farmer of the product of his harvest for propagation or multiplication by him on his own holding, where there has been a sale of plant propagating material to the farmer by the proprietor of the patent or with his consent for agricultural use. These Regulations also make provisions which apply where an act would constitute an infringement of a patent but for section 37(1)(i).
