The draft Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) Bill of Pakistan has been submitted to
the parliament for enactment. Soon after its enactment, the PBR Registry will be
set up under administrative control of IPO-Pakistan on modern and competitive
lines to provide an effective intellectual property right system for granting
protection to the development of new plant varieties and to establish a viable
seed industry for the improvement of agriculture to ensure the availability of
high quality seeds and planting material to the farmers.
