| Abstract: | The United States
offers several ways for plant breeders to protect their inventions; plant
patents, utility patents, or plant variety protection. There are differences in
the type of material that can be protected under each system and the criteria
used to examine the application. There is often confusion among applicants
regarding why the United
States has so many choices, which choice or
choices apply to their situation, how to file an application and how that
application will be examined. This article provides a basic overview of plant
patents, utility patents and plant variety protection in the US. |
