IPI support for breeders
To improve the situation for breeders, we will implement the following more extensive measures, in addition to establishing a clearing house:
- We will provide breeders and researchers with high-quality patent information in the field of plant breeding. This will enable them to set appropriate research and investment priorities.
- We will enhance our training activities for breeders and for the field of plant breeding in general. We will agree the training topics directly with the interested parties. Our goal is to ensure the content meets their needs and strengthens their autonomy.
- We will position ourselves permanently in the national plant breeding arena. To this end, we are organising a conference to discuss solutions to promote transparency and voluntary licensing for patents in the area of plant breeding. We also aim to support events staged by third parties, such as the Sorten für Morgen (Varieties for Tomorrow) association and Swiss Food Research.
