Plant breeder's rights provide exclusive commercial rights to market a new plant variety or its reproductive material. To become eligible for protection you must:

• demonstrate by a comparative trial that the variety is clearly distinguishable from any other variety; and

• show that the new variety is distinct as well as uniform and stable.
