Michael D. Carriere
UC Davis InnovationAccess, USA
"As a technology transfer professional working with plant varieties at UC Davis, my membership in CIOPORA provides access to the tools required to ensure our plant IP and licensing activities are informed by current global best practices from both the public and private sectors. A CIOPORA membership provides exceptional value through educational offerings and experience exchange among plant IP professionals worldwide."
Erin Wallich
Summerland Varieties Corp., Canada:
Our small breeding company is actively creating processes for enforcing IP rights for our protected varieties around the world, which is a major challenge given the complexity of our industry and the varied laws of each country. CIOPORA provides access to a global network of highly knowledgeable professionals who are involved in similar activities and willing to share their valuable experience and best practices.
Micha Danziger

In its dialogue with growers and trade, CIOPORA continuously stresses the importance of new and improved varieties
for the sustainable development of the
green sector. Furthermore, CIOPORA
represents our interests before CPVO and UPOV and advocates for such important issues as regulation of DUS testing,
the use of DNA in enforcement
activities, and Essentially Derived
Varieties.
