In my view, the IP rights have been a positive step forward but have added many requirements to the operation of a breeding program. For example, open germplasm exchange among public breeders is a practice of the past. The acquisition of parental stocks now requires lots of paperwork in the form of multiple MTAs or Research Agreements as well as additional time required for both party’s legal team reviews and negotiations. In some cases, it has caused a reduction in diversity of germplasm available to the breeder because no agreement can be reached. The IP rights also increase the costs of isolating and advancing some materials in winter nurseries as well as in yield testing novel traits in separate isolated tests with a third-party specified set of “check” cultivars. Furthermore, the cultivar release and marketing requirements have changed substantially from pre-IP days. This presentation will focus on such changes and added requirements as they relate to the soybean breeding program at the University of Tennessee over the past 25 years. yt:video:gPNev6o2Vd4 gPNev6o2Vd4 UCLdgn7_1J6n1Hk6bqNL_Xag Plant Breeding & Genomics https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLdgn7_1J6n1Hk6bqNL_Xag 2017-05-01T16:02:18+00:00 2017-05-10T11:11:53+00:00 Trends in Intellectual Property Protection in Plant Breeding The intellectual property (IP) landscape for crop cultivars is constantly evolving. Most plant breeders are familiar with plant patents and plant variety protection, but in industry especially, utility patents are now the most commonly used form of IP protection. Both public and private sectors are also layering contract law as licenses upon patent law. Licenses and utility patents especially restrict timely exchange of germplasm for breeding purposes. In the long run, this may retard the rate of genetic gain compared to what was achieved in the latter half of the 20th century. The public and private sectors have responded in different ways to attempt to regain access to elite genetic resources. Public breeders have called for agreements amongst public breeding program that recognize the need to exchange and use germplasm for crosses, and one group has initiated the Open Source Seed Initiative with the goal of ensuring that genetic resources remain in the genetic commons. The private sector has formed consortiums to facilitate the exchange of materials under license agreements. It is unclear whether either of these avenues facilitate public-private sector exchanges of germplasm. This webinar will provide an overview of types of IP protection available for crop plants, shifts in their use and proposed solutions to facilitating plant breeding as a cooperative effort.

As an outcrossing diploid with substantial allelic diversity available in both cultivated and wild germplasm, that diversity has been important for improvements in marketable yield, disease and pest resistance, flavor and appearance that contribute to modern high-value carrot products like “baby” carrots. Modern breeding to improve carrot nutritional content, attributable to carrot’s orange carotenoid pigments that are precursors of vitamin A, has been particularly successful with the current contribution of carrot to the US diet today approximately 50% higher than in 1970. Substantial improvements in breeding for pest resistance and for adaptation to warmer climates have also been realized. Current efforts expand carrot breeding in developing the crop for a wider range of biotic and abiotic stress, and for new conventional and low-input markets. The recent sequencing of the carrot genome provides a foundation to accelerate the genetic improvement of the carrot crop.

National and global economies increasingly rely on intellectual property (IP), with virtually every industry either producing or using it. Plant science sectors contribute significantly among IP-intensive industries, which account for more than 18% of employment, 34% of gross domestic product (GDP), and 60% of exports within the U.S. economy. The same oligopoly of multi-national corporations that control 75% of the global agrochemical market, 63% of the commercial seed market, and more than 75% of private sector agricultural research rely extensively on leveraging current and continually expanding IP portfolios. The majority of career positions for plant breeders, agronomists, and related plant science disciplines are also held by these corporations; however, training opportunities at the graduate level in IP are sparse. Whether these industries prefer future scientists to be trained before being hired, or rather while on the job, is largely debatable. Existing graduate curricula options in IP will be presented.

Her background is in organic plant breeding and participatory research. She leads a program in collaboration with other plant breeders to test vegetable varieties for quality traits and productivity for regional food systems. Description: The Summit on Intellectual Property Rights and Public Plant Breeding was held in just prior to the National Association of Plant Breeders meeting in August 2016. The goals were to 1) Develop a statement of best practices for the use of IPR and licensing agreements for public cultivars and germplasm. 2) Provide examples of effective strategies for utilizing royalty money or other funding sources to support public cultivar development. 3) Explore existing technology transfer mechanisms to ensure that useful germplasm from public programs moves out of breeding plots and into farmers’ fields. A group of 65 plant breeders and other stakeholders from around the country, representing the public, private and non-profit sectors met for two days to discuss these issues specifically as they relate to plant breeding in the public sector. A set of recommendations from the conference has been developed for release Spring of 2017. This webinar will discuss the main findings and steps forward.
