Plant Breeders’ Rights

The Plant Breeders’ Rights department specializes in procedures linked to the protection of new plant varieties. The production of new plant varieties for agriculture and ornamentation and the trade in newly developed seeds and seedlings have become in recent years a prosperous economic branch, thus raising the importance of registering and defending these rights.

The department handles the registration of Plant Breeders’ Rights for new varieties in Israel and abroad, opposition proceedings to the registration of new varieties and rendering of opinions, including due diligence for companies that deal with new plant varieties in Israel and worldwide.

Another benefit is the synergism of the patent attorneys of the department working alongside legal professionals of Gilat, Bareket & Co., creating a unique and effective platform for maximizing returns on a client’s Intellectual Property assets by securing optimal protection.
