IPRA Intellectual Property Rights Agency in Agriculture
IPRA is an initiative established to raise awareness among right holders on intellectual rights in agriculture (breeders’ rights, patents and trademarks), to register the right, to manage the right in a holistic manner after registration and to ensure that the intellectual product subject to the right can safely take place in the international market. Our mission is to ensure that right holders are rewarded for their labour and that their ideas reach the world.
Discover the Economic Value of Intellectual Property Rights
With new seeds, new agricultural technologies and new methods, the agricultural sector is constantly evolving and growing. However, the creativity and labour behind these developments need to be protected. Intellectual property rights turn into an economic value with the right registration, protection and management. This economic value is provided not only by the registration of the right, but also by proper management and combating infringement.
Holistic Intellectual Property Management
Detection, Registration, Monitoring and Protection
The process of breeding and invention is a long and arduous process. Knowing that the intellectual property rights of the breeder or inventor are safe while carrying out their activities encourages them to take firm steps towards the future. IPRA offers services to accompany breeders and inventors every step of the way, from protecting their intellectual rights to gaining a place in the international market.
Branding, Institutionalisation, Benefiting from Incentives and Supports
IPRA is guided by the realisation that the value of intellectual property will increase under corporate governance strengthened by branding and public incentives and support.
