Not normally. Plant Breeder’s Rights under UPOV type Plant Varietal Protection (PVP) laws do not restrict the further use of the variety for research and breeding. Commercialization of a new variety that is protected by this type of Plant Breeder’s Rights developed from IRRI germplasm would not trigger mandatory payments under the Treaty.
