The future of IP in the regulation of NGTs
Abstract
The EU has reached a provisional agreement on New Genomic Techniques regulation, classifying Category 1 NGT plants as equivalent to conventional breeding and outside GMO rules. The framework increases transparency around patents, mandates disclosure, and launches reviews on intellectual property impacts, aiming to balance innovation, fair access, and competitiveness in the European plant breeding sector.
