List the breeder's facts against the variety tests
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the breeder's note, list the facts that bear on whether the variety is new, distinct, uniform, and stable, in the note's words, with the page. Write no sentence of the application.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the application. 7 U.S.C. § 2402(a) entitles the breeder of any sexually reproduced, tuber propagated, or asexually reproduced plant variety, other than fungi or bacteria, who has so reproduced the variety, or the successor in interest, to plant variety protection, subject to the conditions of the chapter, if the variety is new, distinct, uniform, and stable. New, in § 2402(a)(1), looks to whether propagating or harvested material has been sold or otherwise disposed of to others, by or with the consent of the breeder, for exploitation in the United States more than 1 year before filing, or outside the United States more than 4 years before filing, or more than 6 years before filing for a tree or vine. Distinct, in § 2402(a)(2), means clearly distinguishable from any variety whose existence is publicly known or a matter of common knowledge at filing. Uniform, in § 2402(a)(3), means any variations are describable, predictable, and commercially acceptable. Stable, in § 2402(a)(4), means the variety, when reproduced, remains unchanged with regard to its essential and distinctive characteristics with a reasonable degree of reliability commensurate with varieties of the same category in which the same breeding method is employed. The application form is not in § 2402. This list writes no sentence of it, and it reaches no certificate.
