\nABOUT THE SEMI NAR
\nThe Protection of Plant Variety and Farmers Right Act\, 2001 (P PVFR Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide for the establishment of an effective system for protection of plant varieties\, t he rights of farmers and plant breeders\, and to encourage the development and cultivation of new varieties of plants. This Act received the assent of the President of India on the October 30\, 2001.
\n
\nPlant v ariety protection provides legal protection of a plant variety to a breede r in the form of Plant Breeder's Rights. Plant Breeder's Rights (PBRs) are intellectual property rights that provide exclusive rights to a breeder o f the registered variety.
\n
\nThe Plant Variety Protection and Farmers Rights Act (PPVFRA)\, 2001\, a sui generis system\, is an attempt by the Indian Government to recognize and protect the rights of both comme rcial plant breeders and farmers in respect of their contribution made in conserving\, improving and making available plant genetic resources for de velopment of new plant varieties and to encourage the development of new p lants varieties.
