Applying for the renewal of an authorized variety

Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

Is the approval of a variety marketed by you or other registered breeders expiring? Then you can apply to the Federal Plant Variety Office (BSA) for an extension of the approval.

If the approval of a plant variety marketed by you or other registered breeders expires, any registered breeder can apply to the Federal Plant Variety Office (BSA) for an extension of the approval. The successful renewal is then registered for all other breeders.

The BSA decides whether an agricultural plant variety is approved for a further 10 years. The approval of grapevine and fruit varieties can be extended for a further 20 years.
