CPVO Tenders, Community Plant Variety Office Bids and RFP

The Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) is a self financed European Agency managing intellectual property right relating to plants. The main task of CPVO is to administer a system of plant variety rights, also known as plant breeders' rights.

Created by the Council Regulation 2100/94, on 27 April 1995, CPVO is based out of Angers, France. Plant variety rights allow plant breeders to protect new varieties of plants. The CPVO was created to encourage the creation of new plant varieties in the European Union, through the provision of better intellectual property protection for plant breeders.
