Abstract
As far as plant varieties are concerned, the “tradition” of the protection of intellectual property is fairly recent since, apart from a pontifical law going back to September the 3rd 1833, which was never applied, the oldest laws giving any real protection to breeders are all less than a hundred years old. The first, passed in the United States in 1930, only concerned plants with vegetative propagation, and with a host of exceptions.
