| Abstract | This paper examines international trends in plant variety protection, a form of intellectual propertyrights for plant varieties akin to patents. The TRIPs Agreement under the WTO has given a strongimpetus for the universalisation of plant variety protection regimes with common standards of protectionacross countries. This paper argues that developed and developing countries are likely to adopt widelydivergent approaches to the development of intellectual property rights for plant varieties. The specialfeatures of plant variety protection constrain the appropriability of economic returns from protectedplant varieties. Consequently, in developed countries PVP is being seen as a relatively weak intellectualproperty right instrument. As stronger forms of protection for plant varieties become available, theimportance of plant variety protection in developed countries may decline. Developing countriescontinue to debate the merits of extending intellectual property rights to agriculture, though they too areobliged under the TRIPs Agreement to protect plant varieties. Their concerns are focused on the“inequities” inherent in a system of plant breeders’ rights. Attempts by developing countries toincorporate farmers’ rights provisions in their PVP systems are likely to dilute the incentives for privateinvestment in plant breeding. |
