USDA Protects 19
New Plant Varieties
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
USDA has issued certificates of
protection to developers of 19
new varieties of seed-
reproduced plants. They include
bean, lettuce, potato, rice, soy
bean, watermelon, and wheat.
The 19 certificates are being
issued under the amended Plant
Variety Protection Act. The
amendments extend protection
to FI hybrids and tuber
propagated varieties and require
that all protected varieties be
sold by variety name.
The certificates require not
only that the varieties be new,
uniform, and stable, as in the
original act, but also that they be
distinct. The owners will have
the exclusive right to reproduce,
sell, import, and export their
products in the United States for
20 years.
