4.2.3 Breeder
Date Published
A breeder of a plant variety is entitled to make an application for PBR in the variety (s24). The breeder may be one or more person(s) or a commercial entity. Where the breeder is an employee or a member of an organisation and the breeding of the variety took place in the course of their duties or organisational membership, then the organisation is considered the breeder.
Where the applicant for PBR (see 4.2.1 Applicant) in a variety is not the breeder of that variety, the applicant must provide particulars of the transfer of ownership in the Part 1 application form.
