The New Brazilian Government Draft Law on Plant Varieties (Or… How a Developing Country May Want to Enhance IP Protection Because It May Actually Need It)
Denis Borges Barbosa Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro Marcus Lessa Denis Borges Barbosa Advogados Peter Yu, SECOND SUMMER INSTITUTE IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, Drake University Law School, 2009 Abstract: The Brazilian Government has just drafted a bill amending the Plant Variety Protection ("PVP") Statute passed in 1997. This amendment represents a significant re-thinking of the system, in a divorce of sorts from the Brazilian original standpoint following the implementation of TRIPs requirements, and an appraisal of the draft could shed light on a new - and independent - third-world assessment of how Intellectual Property Rights ("IPRs") can be adjusted to meet local interests and needs.
