Laid down by the Royal Ministry of Agriculture on 6 August 1993, pursuant to Act No. 32 of 12 March 1993 relating to the Plant Breeder's Right and the Royal Decree of 14 May 1993, and amended on 6 February 1995 and 16 July 1997.

CHAPTER I
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Scope of Regulations

Section 1.

The plant breeder's right may be granted for varieties of all genera or species of plants, including hybrids between genera and species.

Section 2.

In addition to variety owners who are resident or have their registered office in or are nationals of a State which is a member of the Union of New Varieties of Plants, plant breeders right may be granted to variety owners who are resident or have their registered office in or are nationals of a State which is a member of the World Trade Organisation.

In respect of plant varieties of particular significance to Norwegian plant production, or when warranted by other considerations, the Plant Variety Board may grant plant breeder's right to applicants from countries which are not member states of the Union for the protection of New Varieties of Plants or the World Trade Organisation. (cf. Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, Section 1, third paragraph)

Priority

Section 3.

To secure priority rights as provided in the third paragraph of Section 2 of the Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, the applicant must:

(a)
submit a written claim thereof together with an application for breeders' rights in Norway
(b)
within three months of filing a priority claim, furnish to the Plant Variety Board a copy of the documents which constitute the application upon which the priority claim is based. These documents must be certified by the authority which received the first application.

CHAPTER II

Section 4.

A written application in Norwegian shall be submitted to the Plant Variety Board. The application shall be signed by the applicant or by his agent if the applicant is so represented. The application shall contain:

(a)
The name and address of the original breeder and the applicant, and the name and address of any agent representing the applicant.
(b)
A specific power of attorney for any agent representing the applicant.
(c)
The grounds for the applicant's title to the variety in question if the applicant is not the original breeder.
(d)
A description of the variety specifying its botanical classification, origin and the characteristics which distinguish it from other varieties, together with the
results of any tests carried out on the variety and a description of the propagation of the material.
(e)
A proposed denomination.
(f)
Information stating whether protection has been sought in other countries for the variety in question, the name or names under which protection has been sought, and the decisions of the authorities in these countries on the applications.
(g)
If a right of priority is claimed, the name of the country where the application invoked was filed, as well as the date of filing of this application and the application number.
(h)
Information on previous exploitation of the variety which according to litra (d) of the first paragraph of Section 2 of Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right may hinder the granting of breeders' rights.

Applications shall be submitted together with payment of such application fees as specified in Section 18 of these Regulations.

Processing of Applications

Section 5.

The Plant Variety Board shall first undertake a provisional examination of the application in accordance with Section 6 of the Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right. Information pertaining to the application shall be sent to the relevant authorities in the other member states for their comments (cf. Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, Section 5, third paragraph).

The Plant Variety Board shall enter into agreements concerning verification of the originality of varieties with the domestic and foreign institutions responsible for this task, and the board shall decide, for each individual application, whether the variety shall be tested, the scope of testing and where such testing shall be carried out (cf. Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, Section 9). When the originality of the variety has been verified, the Plant Variety Board shall determine whether the application fulfils the requirements of the Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, Section 2, first paragraph, litra (a) to (c).

Where a right of priority is claimed in accordance with Section 2 of the Act relating to the Plant Breeder's Right, the Plant Variety Board cannot direct the applicant to provide the information and the plant material required to consider the application earlier than four years after the expiry of the time limit for priorities.

If the application comprising the basis of a right of priority claim is decided with the result that neither a breeder's right nor a patent is granted, the Plant Variety Board may set a new deadline for supplying information and plant material.

The Plant Variety Board may obtain expert opinions.

The results of the verification of originality shall be submitted to the applicant before the Plant Variety Board proceeds with the application in question.
