Plant varieties, protected properly.
BLOOMZ files and executes Plant Variety Rights, Plant Breeders’ Rights and US plant patents as your New Zealand agent — and, where an offshore owner needs it, as the independent party looking after their interest.
The BLOOMZ difference.
Other firms handle plant IP. They do the paperwork, and nothing else. No permits, no import, no quarantine, no propagation.
Large global corporates find they are paying one party for the administration and someone else for everything physical, with neither side joined up. Many move to BLOOMZ, once they see they are paying twice for a service that was never integrated.
Rights, patents and DUS testing.
Plant Variety Rights, Plant Breeders’ Rights and US plant patents: filing, execution, maintenance and DUS testing. BLOOMZ acts as the owner’s New Zealand agent and, where it’s needed, as the independent party protecting an offshore owner’s interest — which sometimes means policing our own clients.
Plant Variety Rights
Filed and maintained in New Zealand.
Plant Breeders’ Rights
The equivalent right in jurisdictions that use that term.
US plant patents
Prepared, filed and prosecuted with the USPTO.
DUS testing
Set up and managed with the NZ PVR Office and offices in other jurisdictions: distinctness, uniformity and stability trials.
Most variety-rights work starts with material coming into the country — that is the other half of the service.
