IPRA Intellectual Property Rights Agency in Agriculture
IPRA is a law firm specialized in intellectual property rights in agriculture, offering legal services in plant breeders’ rights, patents, and trademarks. Combining legal expertise, sector-specific insight, and strategic guidance, IPRA builds the path from idea to value in the agricultural sector.
Our Vision
IPRA was founded on the belief that every idea holds the potential to become as powerful as a seed. A seed nurtures a thought, and a thought gives life to a new seed. Yet a seed must not only meet the soil—it must be cultivated and protected to grow into a fruitful plant. We believe every idea is a seed that, with the right care and legal protection, can grow and thrive.
Our mission is to ensure that rights holders receive the value they deserve and that their ideas can 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.
Integrated Intellectual Property Management
With new seeds, emerging agricultural technologies, and innovative methods, the agriculture sector is continuously evolving and expanding. Yet behind these developments lies creative effort that must be protected to ensure sustainability.
Intellectual property rights gain real economic value not simply through registration, but when they are managed at the right time, in the right way, and with the right strategy.
This value comes not only from formal recognition, but from securing rights through contracts, actively enforcing them against infringement, and strategically using them in practice.
IPRA approaches the transformation of intellectual property into economic value as a whole—from pre-registration preparation to commercialization strategies, from licensing processes to litigation—each step is designed and implemented with an integrated IP management approach.
