The Plant Patent Institute

The Plant Patent Institute is an organization that focuses on the legal protection of new plant varieties through patents. It allows breeders and developers to secure exclusive rights to their unique plants for a set period, encouraging innovation in horticulture and agriculture. By patenting new plants, inventors can prevent others from making, using, or selling their creations without permission. This intellectual property protection helps ensure that breeders can recoup their investment in research and development while promoting the advancement of diverse and improved plant species.
