Plant varieties in Switzerland

The dataset contains information on plant varieties registered in Switzerland or protected by plant variety rights (PVR) that are listed in the national catalogue of varieties (NLI). It includes variety characteristics, registration status and the duration of protection. The data serves to promote transparency and support agriculture, breeding and administration. The content is updated on an ongoing basis. Plant variety protection belongs to the same family than patents and trademarks, the intellectual property right. The plant variety protection right regulates the commercial protection of new varieties. The person who holds the protection title has the right to protect their variety from undesired commercial use. Duration of plant variety protection: 25–30 years. The national listing (NLI) includes plant species used for agriculture. They need an authorization, which is regulated by an ordinance (Plant Variety Ordinance) via catalogues and lists. Agroscope and professional associations establish recommended lists of varieties. The varieties published here in the plant variety protection and in the national catalogue of varieties are currently incomplete. However, the list is continuously updated with newly validated data.本数据集收录了在瑞士完成注册、或受植物品种权（Plant Variety Rights, PVR）保护且收录于国家品种目录（National Catalogue of Varieties, NLI）的植物品种相关信息。数据集涵盖品种特性、注册状态及保护期限。本数据集旨在提升信息透明度，为农业、育种及行政管理工作提供支撑。数据内容将持续更新。 植物品种权与专利、商标同属知识产权范畴。植物品种权对新品种的商业保护作出规范，品种权持有人有权禁止其品种被不当商用。植物品种权的保护期限为25至30年。 国家品种目录（NLI）涵盖农业用植物物种。此类农业用植物物种需获得授权，该授权由《植物品种条例》（Plant Variety Ordinance）通过各类目录与清单进行规范。瑞士农业科学研究院（Agroscope）与各行业协会负责制定推荐品种清单。 本数据集发布的植物品种权相关品种及国家品种目录收录品种目前尚不完整。不过该清单将持续通过最新验证的数据进行更新完善。
