New Genomic Technologies (NG Ts) are set to expand the capabilities of crop bre eding (and\, eventually\, livestock)\, and we'll b e talking about how this might impact the Plant Va riety Rights regulations for those generating crop s with novel traits.
\n \nPlant Variety Rights (PVR)\, or Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR)\, are intellectual property rights granting breeders exclusive control over n ew\, distinct\, uniform\, and stable plant varieti es for 25–30 years. Crucially\, they enable holder s to manage the commercialization journeys\, licen se production\, and collect royalties on propagati ng material.
\n \nWe'll be exploring how the deployment of techn ologies such as gene-editing\, and the new platfor ms that are helping inform the processes\, would i nfluence the regulatory pathways and business mode ls for future new variety production.

\n \nCarsten is a senior member of the firm’s plant sciences team. His practice focuses o n patent matters in agricultural biotechnology and microbiology. He has wide-ranging experience in t echnologies such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing\, pl ant disease resistance genes and effectors\, insec ticidal proteins and entomopathogens\, as well as transformation and genotyping methods\, and has pr osecuted a number of cases concerned with silage i noculants and fungi. For over a decade\, he has be en involved in patent application drafting\, prose cution\, and oppositions and appeals in the Europe an Patent Office. He also has extensive experience in dealing with plant variety rights in Europe an d the United Kingdom for a wide variety of crops\, including fungi\, as well as managing plant varie ty right portfolios globally. His PhD in Plant Sci ences from the University of Cambridge was focused on meiotic recombination rates among plant diseas e resistance gene clusters\, and resulted in a pub lication on meiotic recombination rate heterogenei ty.
