Book excerpt: The Plant Breeder's Right (PBR), also known as Plant Variety Protection (PVP), is a form of intellectual property afforded to breeders of newly bred plant varieties. In South Africa, intellectual protection of new plant varieties is afforded through the Plant Breeders' Rights Act, 1976 (Act No. 15 of 1976) as amended in 1996. The writer has been Registrar: Plant Breeders' Rights since November 2007. Over the years the writer has interacted with several stakeholders with interest in plant breeders' rights, including breeders, farmers, patent attorneys, growers, plant breeders' rights administrators from other countries and civil society organisations. Although South Africa has had Plant Breeders' Rights legislation since 1976, it has been observed that this piece of legislation is relatively unknown and often misunderstood even by the users of the system. In engagements with various stakeholders, it has been established that there are conflicting views amongst the stakeholders on pertinent issues related to the plant breeders' rights system. There are views, among others, include: that the plant breeders' rights system is only relevant and benefits breeders from big multinational companies such as Monsanto and farmers can never benefit in such a system; that the Plant Breeders' Rights Act is synonymous with genetically modified organisms; that indigenous plants are neglected, and that the system only promotes protection of foreign varieties. The most contentious issue is however around the impact of plant breeders' rights on the tradition of farmers to save, sell and exchange seed. Very little is documented on the South Africa plant breeders' rights system, more so from the administrator's perspective. This study explored some aspects of the plant breeders' rights system that may need policy interventions and legislation amendments, such as matters around the plant breeders' rights system in relation to farmers' rights, possible dual protection of Genetically Modified varieties in terms of the Plant Breeders' Rights Act 1976 and the Patents Act 1978, as well as the participation of indigenous ornamental crops in the plant breeders' rights system.
