A wide range of developments in the agri-tech sector are patentable, and J A Kemp’s attorneys are experienced in obtaining strong and commercially relevant patent protection for agri-tech inventions.

We have expertise across the sector with specialists in: plant science, including transgenic technology, plant breeding and new breeding techniques (such as CRISPR gene editing); herbicide/pesticide chemistry; animal science, including gene editing and animal breeding, feeds and supplements, diagnostics and health monitoring, including AI-based systems; and agricultural engineering.

We also have specialist expertise in Plant Variety Rights. We file applications for protection with the UK and Community (EU) Plant Variety Right Offices, and advise on strategies to secure equivalent protection around the world. We also help our clients with other forms of intellectual property such as trademarks and design rights, which are routinely used to protect developments in the agri-tech sector.
