Order Concerning the Possibility for Foreign Breeders to Obtain Protection of Plant Breeders' Rights, etc. (No. 137 of 1982).

Breeders who are nationals of or have their residence or registered office in a member State of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) may obtain protection in Denmark for novelties of any botanical genus or species to which the Law applies. Protection may be granted, even if the plant novelty has been offered for sale or marketed abroad within the four years or, in respect of trees, within the six years preceding the date of the application for protection in Denmark. The Ministry of Agriculture may authorize the Board for Plant Novelties to grant protection to foreign breeders who do not benefit from the provisions of article 1, in respect of novelties of botanical genera or species created in a State which grants protection to Danish breeders of novelties of the same genus or species on terms equal to those applying to its own breeders.
