Objections 

Formal objections to applications can be lodged by a 

person who: 

a) considers their commercial interests would be 

affected by a grant of PBR to the applicant; and 

b) considers that the applicant will not be able to fulfil 

all the conditions for the grant of PBR to the variety. 

A person submitting a formal objection must provide 

supporting evidence to substantiate the claim. A copy of the 

submission will also be sent to the applicant and the latter 

will be asked to show why the objection should not be 

upheld. 

A fee of $100 is payable at the time of lodging a formal 

objection and $75/hour will be charged if the examination 

of the objection by the PBR office takes more than 2 hours. 

Comments. Any person may make comment on the 

eligibility of any application for PBR. The comment is 

considered confidential. There is no charge for this. If the 

comment is soundly based the person may be requested to 

lodge a formal objection. 

All formal objections and comments must be lodged with 

the Registrar not later than six months after the date the 

description of the variety is published in this journal. 

Applying For Plant Breeders 

Rights 

Applications are accepted from the original breeder of a 

new variety (from the employer if the breeder is an 

employee) or from a person who has acquired ownership 

from the original breeder. Overseas breeders need to 

appoint an agent to represent their interests in Australia. 

Interested parties should contact the PBR office and an 

accredited Qualified Person (Appendix 3) experienced in 

the plant species in question. 

Requirement to Supply 

Comparative Varieties 

Once an application has been accepted by the PBR office, it 

is covered by provisional protection. Also it immediately 

becomes a ‘variety of common knowledge’ and thus may be 

required by others as a comparator for their applications 

with a higher application number. 

Applicants are reminded that they are required to release 

propagative material for comparative testing provided that 

the material is used for no other purpose and all material 

relating to the variety is returned when the trial is complete. 

The expenses incurred in the provision of material for 

comparative trials is borne by those conducting the trials. 

As the variety is already under provisional protection, any 

use outside the conditions outlined above would qualify as 

an infringement and would be dealt with under section 53 

of the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act. 

Applicants having difficulties procuring varieties for use in 

comparative trials are urged to contact the PBR office 

immediately. 

UPOV Developments 

Paraguay joined The Union for the Protection of New 

Varieties of Plants (UPOV), in February 1997, to become its 

32nd member. However, the 1991 Act of the UPOV 

Convention is still to come into force requiring a further two 

countries to lodge instruments of accession. Denmark, 

Israel and The Netherlands acceded in 1996 and it is 

expected that others will shortly follow. The addresses of 

Plant Variety Protection offices in UPOV member states are 

listed in Appendix 5. 

Instructions to Authors 

Role and importance of the description 

The main roles of the descriptions are to provide public 

notice that a grant of PBR to a particular variety is imminent, 

to fulfil the examination requirements of the Act and to 

register the official and legal description of a variety. The 

description is also the immediate reference for all legal and 

technical requirements under PBR for twenty or more years. 

Consequently, an accurate and complete description of a 

new variety in the correct format is essential in ensuring the 

smooth progress of an application and the validity of the 

subsequent grant. The need to rectify incomplete and poorly 

formatted descriptions causes frustration for QP’s (and PBR 

staff) and may lead to delays in publication, and therefore, 

the granting of rights. Before submitting a Part 2 application 

please ensure all relevant information is included and that 

the technical accuracy of the descriptions has been checked. 

A complete Part 2 application consists of the following; 

• the first page of the Part 2 form and certification by a 

qualified person completed and signed. 

• a long (legal) description – the full text description, 

together with information on the origin and 

2


comparative test; and a complete comparative table. 

This is the legal description of the variety and is used as 

the reference for any objections and comments 

consequently it contains all of the information and data 

that the applicant and/or QP considers relevant in 

support of the application. Generally the format is less 

strict than for the short description. 

• a short description – a concise summary of the long 

description with an abridged comparative table. This is 

the description which is published in the Plant Varieties 

Journal. Consequently the format of the short 

description is very strict so as to maintain consistency. 

The table of the short description should only contain 

characters that are distinct from comparators. Any non 

distinct characters are, instead, included in the text of 

the description. In this way as much information as 

possible is included whilst still keeping the description 

concise. As a general rule avoid duplication of 

information 

• a photograph and the caption for publication featuring 

the principal distinguishing characters. 

• an electronic copy of both descriptions, preferably in 

MS Word for IBM format or Rich Text Format (rtf). 

These can be submitted either on 3 1 /2” disk or via 

Email. 

• payment of the examination fee 

Since both the long and short versions play a decisive role 

in the examination process and for fulfilling all the 

requirements under the PBR Act, it is imperative that the 

short and long descriptions of the variety be submitted 

simultaneously. 

General format of the descriptions 

Both descriptions should be presented under the following 

headings: 

• Details of the application 

• Description 

• Origin 

• Comparative Trial 

• Prior Applications and Sales 

• Name of Qualified Person 

• Comparative table 

Never use the table creating features of word processing 

packages. Instead use single tabs to align columns. Never 

use drawing objects to create lines, boxes or shading. 

Instead use the dash character ( _ ) to create lines for tables. 

Tables should normally be either 8.5cm wide (half page) or 

17.5cm wide (full page). If necessary very wide tables can 

be presented in landscape. 

Describe characters in the following order: Ploidy, 

Seedling, Plant, Stem, Leaf, Inflorescence, Flower, Fruit, 

Seed, Other characters(disease resistance, etc). Characters 

within subheadings should generally be in the following 

order; attitude, height, length, width, size, shape, colour, 

other. Use a concise taxonomic style in which subheadings 

are followed by a colon and characters are separated by a 

comma. 

For example: 

Description (Table nn, Figure nn) Ploidy: tetraploid. Plant: 

habit narrow bushy, late maturing. Stem: anthocyanin 

absent. Leaf: width narrow, length long, green RHS 137A. 

Flower: yellow RHS 12A, petals 5 …..etc 

For consistency, botanical and common names should 

follow those of: Hortus Third, Staff of the LH Bailey 

Hortorium, Macmillan Publishing Company, 1976; Census 

of Australian Vascular Plants, RJ Hnatiuk AGPS, 1990; 

The Smart Gardeners Guide to Common Names of Plants, 

M Adler Rising Sun Press 1994; or A Checklist of Economic 

Plants in Australia, CSIRO 1994. 

The style and formatting of descriptions published in recent 

Plant Varieties Journals should be used as guide when 

preparing the short version. They are a precis of the 

submitted long descriptions. However, not all fully represent 

the precise requirements for the short description. If in doubt 

the QP should contact the PBR office for clarification. 

Completed Part 2 Applications should be sent to: 

Plant Breeders Rights Australia 

Department of Primary Industries and Energy 

GPO Box 858 CANBERRA ACT 2601 

To facilitate editing, descriptions may also be sent via Email 

to either: dwaterho@dpie.gov.au or K.Prakash@dpie.gov.au. 

In this case the hardcopy, examination fee, slide and 8 

photographs must also be sent by post.

NEGOTIATING PBR LICENCES – 

THINGS NOT TO DO 

by Edwina Menzies and Jamie Wodetzki of Minter Ellison 

When negotiating a PBR licence there are a number of traps 

to watch out for. In this article, we look at some of the 

things you should avoid doing. 

• Don’t make wild overstatements 

In the course of any negotiations, there is always a 

temptation to give a glowing description of the product you 

are selling. However, you need to be careful not to overstate 

the qualities and performance of the product. This applies to 

plant varieties in the same way as to any other product. 

Under section 52 of the Commonwealth Trade Practices Act 

(and similar State legislation), businesses are not permitted 

to engage in misleading or deceptive conduct. It is 

important, therefore, that you don’t say misleading or 

deceptive things about a variety when negotiating a PBR 

licence agreement. If a licensee takes out a PBR licence on 

the basis of misleading statements about the qualities or 

performance of the variety, they may be able to get out of 

the agreement and make a claim for damages. So, no matter 

how tempting it may be, don’t make claims about the 

growth rate, size, yield, hardiness or any other 

characteristics or qualities of a variety unless you are very 

confident about backing those claims up. Wild 

overstatements could come back to haunt you. 

Prospective licensees may also ask you (as licensor) to 

include in the licence agreement certain warranties about 

the qualities and performance of the plant. If, for example, 

you claimed that the variety of tree in which you own PBR 

produces larger fruit more quickly than any other tree on the 

market, you may be asked to give a warranty to that effect 

in the licence agreement. You need to tread very carefully 

when giving warranties like this. If the tree fails to live up 

to the warranty, you will be in breach of the agreement and 

may be liable for any losses suffered by the licensor as a 

result of that breach. Don’t give warranties you can’t live up 

to. 

• Don’t impose unreasonable restrictions 

Another trap to steer clear of is the inclusion of 

unreasonable, restrictive and anti-competitive conditions in 

a PBR licence agreement. Licences that impose 

unreasonable restrictions on the licensee could fall foul of 

the Trade Practices Act or the PBR Act itself. 

Don’t push licensees into acquiring third party goods or 

services as a condition of granting the PBR licence. For 

example, don’t insist that a particular company be 

contracted to tend and manage a plantation. This practice is 

known as 3rd line forcing and is prohibited under section 47 

of the Trade Practices Act. 

Don’t try to set minimum prices below which the licensee 

is not allowed to sell. Even if you make it known, induce or 

attempt to induce a minimum price level for resale of the 

variety, that will be contrary to the resale price maintenance 

prohibition under section 48 of the Trade Practices Act. 

There are large financial penalties for engaging in 3rd line 

forcing and resale price maintenance. 

Don’t limit supply to an extent that reasonable public access 

to the variety is denied. Under section 19 of the PBR Act 

1994, the grantee of PBR must take all reasonable steps to 

ensure reasonable public access to the variety. If 

propagating material of reasonable quality is not available 

at reasonable prices and in sufficient quantities to meet 

demand, a person could apply to the Secretary of the 

Department for a compulsory licence of PBR. In these 

circumstances, the PBR owner risks losing control of the 

terms of the licence. To avoid this risk, you should try not 

to refuse reasonable requests for PBR licences. 

There are other things to watch out for, but these are some 

of the more important things not to do when negotiating a 

PBR licence. 

Important Changes 

Current PBR Forms 

The official forms for PBR purposes are periodically updated. A list of current PBR forms with their numbers and date of last 

update is given below. When a form is updated, the month and the year of the last update follows the form number within 

parentheses. For example, Form P1 was last updated in July 1996 and therefore this form gets a designation of Form P1 (7/96). 

We encourage you to use the latest version of the forms. If you do not have the latest updated version of the form(s) you want 

to use, please contact the PBR office to obtain them.

Overseas Test Reports 

Many PBR applications are based on overseas DUS test 

reports. In the past the PBR office has obtained these reports 

from the relevant overseas testing authorities. Often these 

reports duplicated information already held by the applicant. 

In many cases DUS test reports are accepted in lieu of 

conducting a similar trial in Australia. In this way the 

applicants are waived the costs of conducting a comparative 

trial. However, as the costs of procuring these reports were 

not passed on to the applicants, there is some cross 

subsidisation by other applications. 

Starting from 1 July 1996, the PBR office will not be 

responsible for obtaining overseas DUS test reports on 

behalf of applicants. It will be the sole responsibility of the 

applicants or their agents to obtain these reports. Where 

applicants already have reports they are advised to submit a 

certified true copy of the report with the application. 

Agents seeking test reports are advised to contact their 

principal and procure DUS test reports directly from them. 

Certified true copies of DUS test reports in English will be 

accepted by the PBR office. Some test reports in other 

languages that closely follow UPOV Technical Guidelines 

may be accepted. 

Further information is available from the PBR office. 

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO 

KNOW ABOUT PROVISIONAL 

PROTECTION 

(And when tardiness can cost you an 

administration fee of $75.00) 

Q. What is provisional protection? 

A. The Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) scheme’s provisional 

protection provides protection of your variety from 

certain commercial acts by someone other than 

yourself. Under the PBR scheme you are protected 

against unauthorised propagation, sale, import, export, 

conditioning, etc. Provisional Protection is equivalent 

to full grant of rights with two exceptions, a) it only 

lasts for a maximum of twelve months and b) you are 

unable to take infringement action. 

Q. How do I get it? 

A. As stated in your official letter from the PBR scheme at 

the time of acceptance, “Acceptance means that you 

have provisional protection for twelve months”.Q. 

What happens at the end of twelve months from my 

date of acceptance? 

A. If your variety has been successfully examined and you 

have submitted a completed Part 2 Application 

(including the official description of the variety) which 

has been accepted by the PBR office, and all 

outstanding fees are paid, then your protection 

automatically continues until grant, usually 6 months 

after the description of your variety has been published 

in the Plant Varieties Journal. 

Q. What happens if my variety has been examined but 

my Part 2 has not been submitted? 

A. If your variety has been successfully examined then you 

have continued protection for nine months from the 

date of examination. You should try to lodge your 

completed Part 2 within this time. 

Q. What happens if my Part 2 has not been submitted 

within nine months from examination? 

A. Then you will need further provisional protection and a 

form will be sent to you for completion. You have 30 

days in which to complete and return this form to the 

PBR office to maintain protection on your variety. 

Q. What happens if my variety has not been ready for 

examination within twelve months from the date of 

acceptance? 

A. We understand that not all applications can be 

completed within this time frame. It is recognised that 

some plants require a number of years from 

propagation before the distinct characters are 

observable or that a comparative trial may fail due to 

bad weather, disease, etc. However, if your variety has 

not been examined within twelve months of acceptance 

a provisional protection form will be sent to you for 

completion. You have 30 days in which to complete and 

return this form to the PBR office to maintain 

protection on your variety. 

Q. Is there a fee attached to the request for an extension 

of provisional protection? 

A. No, there is no fee charged for your request for an 

extension of provisional protection at this time. 

However, protection cannot be extended on a variety 

for which there are other fees outstanding. 

Q. What fees could be outstanding on my variety at this 

time? 

A. Under the Plant Breeders Rights Act 1994, examination 

fees must be paid on or before twelve months from the 

date of acceptance, regardless of whether or not an 

5


examination has taken place in that twelve month 

period. As examination fees must be paid prior to an 

examination, your fees will already have been paid if 

your variety has been examined. If your variety has not 

been examined an invoice for examination fees and the 

form for an extension of provisional protection for an 

application accepted under the Plant Breeders Rights 

Act 1994 will be forwarded for completion and return 

with your remittance within 30 days. 

Q. When I receive the invoice and request for an 

extension of provisional protection form, must I remit 

my cheque for the fees at the same time as I return the 

form? 

A. No, they do not have to be sent together. However, as 

provisional protection cannot be extended on varieties 

for which fees are outstanding, the form may have been 

received by the PBR office but cannot be processed to 

afford you protection until your remittance is received 

by the office. Therefore, your variety remains 

unprotected. Remember, commercial sale of an 

unprotected variety may compromise your rights. 

Q. What happens if my variety was been accepted under 

the old Plant Variety Rights Act 1987? 

A. Under the Plant Variety Rights Act 1987 your 

examination fees may be deferred at the discretion of 

the Registrar (if the variety has not been 

commercialised) until such time as an examination of 

your variety takes place. However, provisional 

protection must be maintained on your variety in the 

same way under both the Plant Variety Rights Act 1987 

and the Plant Breeders Rights Act 1994. Before your 

current protection lapses, an extension of provisional 

protection form will be sent to you for completion by 

the PBR office and it must be returned within 30 days. 

Q. What happens if I am using overseas data to support 

my application and will not have a trial in Australia? 

A. Your application has provisional protection for twelve 

months from the date of acceptance. However, under 

the Plant Breeders Rights Act 1994, examination fees 

must be paid on or before twelve months from the date 

of acceptance. This also applies if your application is 

based on overseas data. 

If your overseas data has been submitted to the PBR 

office during the initial twelve months, then you have a 

further six months from the time of submission of the 

data to complete your Part 2 Application. If your Part 2 

Application has not been received by the PBR office 

within six months from receipt of overseas data, you 

will need to request further provisional protection. You 

will have 30 days in which to complete and return an 

extension of provisional protection form to PBR to 

maintain protection on your variety. Please remember 

that your request for protection cannot be processed if 

there are outstanding fees. 

Q. How long will my extension of provisional protection 

be for? 

A. An extension of provisional protection is granted for a 

maximum of twelve months. If your variety is still not 

ready for an examination at the end of that period, you 

will again need to request an extension of provisional 

protection from the PBR office to maintain protection on 

your variety. This further extension will need to be 

completed and returned to the PBR office within 30 days. 

Q. Why do I have to bother with extensions of 

provisional protection anyway? 

A. As we stated before, commercial sale of an unprotected 

variety may compromise your rights. Based on Section 

22(2) of the Plant Variety Rights Act 1987 and Section 

39(2) of the Plant Breeders Rights Act 1994 the 

Secretary must be convinced that the application is 

actually likely to proceed to grant. Your provision of a 

completed request form for an extension of provisional 

protection supplies information about your application 

and estimated dates on which various stages of the 

application will be completed. 

Q. What happens if my extension of provisional 

protection form is not returned within the 30 days to 

the PBR office? 

A. As you will appreciate, telephone calls, faxes and 

letters all incur a cost in time and effort. The PBR staff 

wish to protect your rights as far as possible but, 

ultimately, it is your responsibility to ensure that your 

variety continues to be protected. Therefore, if you 

have to be contacted after your 30 day period has 

expired, an invoice for an administration fee of $75 

(calculated at a pro rata rate of $75.00 per hour or part 

thereof) will be enclosed with another extension of 

provisional protection form. Please be advised that 

once the initial 30 day period has expired an 

extension of provisional protection cannot be 

processed without payment of this fee.

Neotyphodium (Acremonium*) 

‘AR501’ 



Institute Limited, Palmerston North, New Zealand. 

Agent: Mr A (Tony) Stratton, AgResearch Grasslands 

(Australia), Albury, NSW. 

Description (Table 15, Figure 46) Fungal isolate: seed 

borne endophytic fungus mainly present in fescues and 

ryegrasses, sporulating. It has unique allozyme of enzymes 

PGI and PGD , RAPD profile different from wild type 

strain (‘Tf28’), lack of production of the toxic secondary 

alkaloid metabolites lolitrem B and ergovaline, and distinct 

colony characteristics. 

Origin Isolation and culturing: seed of tall fescue collected 

in Algeria. Breeder: AgResearch Grasslands Research 

Centre, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Selection criteria: 

lack of production of toxic secondary metabolites lolitrem 

B and ergovaline and production of beneficial alkaloid 

peramine and non toxic lolines. Propagation: asexual and 

hence uniform and stable. 

Comparative Trials Comparators: Isozyme analysis: ‘Tf2’ 

(wild type) and ‘Tf28’ (both N. coenophialum), and ‘Tf 21’ 

isozyme phenotype. RAPD analysis: wild type N. lolii, 

‘AR1’(ryegrass endophyte) and ‘Tf28’ (N. coenophialum). 

Amplification of Polymorphic DNA profile shows 

difference in banding between ‘AR501’, ‘AR1’, wild type N. 

lolii, and ‘Tf28’. Secondary metabolites: seeds and herbage 

from ‘AR501’, ‘Tf2’, ‘Tf28’ and ‘FaTG-2’ infected plants 

grown in a glasshouse at 18°C-22°C were freeze dried, 

ground and analysed by high pressure liquid 

chromatography (HPLC) for the presence of alkaloids 

peramine, lolitrem B, ergovaline, and gas chromatography 

for loline alkaloids. Only peramine and lolines were detected 

in the herbage and seeds. Tall fescue plants artificially 

infected as seedlings with ‘AR501’ have all been shown to 

have no detectable ergovaline or lolitrem B.

Should an application not be accompanied by the prescribed 

application fee the application will be deemed to be ‘nonvalid’ 

and neither assigned an application number nor 

examined for acceptance pending the payment of the fee. 

Examination fee 

Non-payment of the examination fee of an application will 

automatically result, at the end of 12 months from the date 

of acceptance, in a refusal of the application. The 

consequences of refusal are the same as for applications 

deemed to be inactive (see ‘inactive applications’ below). 

Consideration of a request for an extension of the period of 

provisional protection from the initial 12 month period may 

require the prior payment of the examination fee. 

Certificate fee 

Following the successful completion of the examination, 

including the public notice period, the applicant will be 

required and invoiced to pay the certification fee. Payment 

of the certification fee is a prerequisite to granting PBR and 

issuing the official certificate by the PBR office. Failure to 

pay the fee may result in a refusal to grant PBR. 

Annual fee 

Should an annual renewal fee not be paid within 30 days 

after the due date, the grant of PBR will be revoked under 

Section 50 of the PBR Act. To assist grantees, the PBR 

office will invoice grantees or their Australian agents for 

renewal fees. 

Inactive applications 

An application will be deemed inactive if, after 24 months 

of provisional protection (or 12 months in the case of nonpayment 

of the examination fee) the PBR Office has not 

received a completed application or has not been advised to 

proceed with the examination or an extension of provisional 

protection has not been requested or not granted or a 

certificate fee has not been paid. Inactive applications will 

be examined and, should they not fully comply with Section 

26 of the PBR Act 1994, they will be refused. As a result 

provisional protection will lapse, priority claims on that 

variety will be lost and should the variety have been sold, it 

will be ineligible for plant variety rights on reapplication. 

Continued use of labels or any other means to falsely imply 

that a variety is protected after the application has been 

refused is an offence under Section 53(1) of the Act. 

Field examinations and final examinations falling within the 

first 12 months will not be undertaken without prior 

payment of the examination fee.

Note: Once an application has been granted rights under 

PVR it is treated as if those rights had been granted under 

PBR. Therefore after grant, all PBR fees apply (including 

the annual fee). 

The appropriate examination fee must be paid before the 

expiry of the 12th month from the date of acceptance of the 

application or prior to field examination whichever occurs 

first. The PBR office will routinely invoice the applicant or 

their agent for the examination fee at the time nominated on 

the application form. At the end of the 11th month after 

acceptance of the application, should the examination fee 

not have been paid, a final invoice (reminder) will be 

despatched to the applicant.

APPENDIX 3 

INDEX OF ACCREDITED CONSULTANT 

‘QUALIFIED PERSONS’ 

The following persons have been accredited by the Plant 

Breeders Rights office based on information provided by 

these persons. From the information provided by the 

applicants, the PBR office believes that these people can 

fulfill the role of ‘qualified person’ in the application for 

plant breeder’s rights. Neither accreditation nor publication 

of a name in the list of persons is an implicit 

recommendation of the person so listed. The PBR office 

cannot be held liable for damages that may arise from the 

omission or inclusion of a person’s name in the list nor does 

it assume any responsibility for losses or damages arising 

from agreements entered into between applicants and any 

person in the list of accredited persons. Qualified persons 

charge a fee for services rendered. 

A guide to the use of the index of consultants: 

• locate in the left column of Table 1 the plant group for 

which you are applying; 

• listed in the right column are the names of accredited 

qualified persons from which you can choose a 

consultant; 

• in Table 2 find that consultant’s name, telephone 

number and area in which they are willing to consult 

(they may consult outside the nominated area); 

• using the “Nomination of Qualified Person” form as a 

guide, agree provisionally on the scope and terms of the 

consultancy; complete the form and attach it to Part 1 

of the application form; 

• when you are notified that your nomination of a 

consultant qualified person is acceptable in the letter of 

acceptance of your application for PBR you should 

again consult the qualified person when planning the 

rest of the application for PBR.

APPENDIX 6 

CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRES 

Under Plant Breeder’s Rights Regulations introduced in 

1996, establishments may be officially authorised by the 

PBR office to conduct test growings. An authorised 

establishment will be known as Centralised Test Centre 

(CTC). 

Usually, the implementation of PBR in Australia relies on a 

‘breeder testing’ system in which the applicant, in 

conjunction with a nominated Qualified Person (QP), 

establishes, conducts and reports a comparative trial. More 

often than not, trials by several breeders are being 

conducted concurrently at different sites. This makes valid 

comparisons difficult and often results in costly duplication. 

While the current system is and will remain satisfactory, 

other optional testing methods are now available which will 

add flexibility to the PBR process. 

Centralised Testing is one such optional system. It is based 

upon the authorisation of private or public establishments to 

test one or more genera of plants. Applicants can choose to 

submit their varieties for testing by a CTC or continue to do 

the test themselves. Remember, using a CTC to test your 

variety is voluntary. 

The use of CTCs recognises the advantages of testing a 

larger number of candidate varieties (with a larger number 

of comparators) in a single comprehensive trial. Not only is 

there an increase in scientific rigour but there are substantial 

economies of scale and commensurate cost savings. A CTC 

will establish, conduct and report each trial on behalf of the 

applicant. 

The PBR office has amended its fees so that cost savings 

can be passed to applicants who choose to test their varieties 

in a CTC. Accordingly, when 5 or more candidate varieties 

of the same genus are tested simultaneously, each will 

qualify for the CTC examination fee of $800. This is a 

saving of nearly 40% over the normal fee of $1400. 

Trials containing less than 5 candidate varieties capable of 

being examined simultaneously will not be considered as 

centralised test trials regardless of the authorisation of the 

facility. Candidate varieties in non-qualifying small trials 

will not qualify for CTC reduction of examination fees. 

Establishments wishing to be authorised as a CTC may 

apply in writing to the PBR office outlining their claims 

against the selection criteria. Initially, only one CTC will be 

authorised for each genus. Exemptions to this rule can be 

claimed due to special circumstances, industry needs and 

quarantine regulations. Authorisations will be reviewed 

periodically. 

Authorisation of CTCs is not aimed solely at large research 

institutions. Smaller establishments with appropriate 

facilities and experience, can also apply for CTC status. 

There is no cost for authorisation as a CTC. 

APPLICATIONS FOR AUTHORISATION AS A 

‘CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRE’ 

Establishments interested in gaining authorisation as a 

Centralised Testing Centre should apply in writing 

addressing each of the Conditions and Selection Criteria 

outlined below. 

Conditions and Selection Criteria 

To be authorised as a CTC, the following conditions and 

criteria will need to be met: 

Appropriate facilities 

While in part determined by the genera being tested, all 

establishments must have facilities that allow the conduct 

and completion of moderate to large scale scientific 

experiments without undue environmental influences. 

Again dependent on genera, a range of complementary 

testing and propagation facilities (e.g. outdoor, glasshouse, 

shadehouse, tissue culture stations ) is desirable. 

Experienced staff 

Adequately trained staff, and access to appropriately 

accredited Qualified Persons, with a history of successful 

PVR/PBR applications will need to be available for all 

stages of the trial from planting to the presentation of the 

analyzed data. These staff will require the authority to 

ensure timely maintenance of the trial. Where provided by 

the PBR office, the protocol and technical guidelines for the 

conduct of the trial must be followed. 

Substantial industry support 

Normally the establishment will be recognised by a state or 

national industry society or association. This may 

include/be replaced by a written commitment from major 

nurseries or other applicants, who have a history of 

regularly making applications for PBR in Australia, to use 

the facility. 

Capability for long term storage of genetic material 

Depending upon the genus, a CTC must be in a position to 

make a long term commitment to collect and maintain, at 

minimal cost, genetic resources of vegetatively propagated 

species as a source of comparative varieties. Applicants 

indicating a willingness to act as a national genetic resource 

centre in perpetuity will be favoured. 

Contract testing for 3rd Parties 

The operators of a CTC must be prepared to test varieties 

submitted by a third party. 

Relationship between CTC and 3rd Parties 

A formal arrangement between the CTC and any third party 

including fees for service will need to be prepared and 

signed before the commencement of the trial. It will include 

among other things: how the plant material will be delivered 

(e.g. date, stage of development plant, condition etc); allow 

the applicant and/or their agent and QP access to the site 

during normal working hours; and release the use of all trial 

data to all applicants for PBR purposes. 

One trial at a time 

Unless exempted in writing by the PBR office, all 

candidates and comparators should be tested in a single 

trial. 

One CTC per genus 

Normally only one CTC will be authorised to test a genus. 

Special circumstances may exist (environmental factors, 

quarantine etc) to allow more than one CTC per genus, 

though a special case will need to be made to the PBR 

office. 

One CTC may be authorised to test more than one genus. 

Authorisations for each genus will be reviewed periodically. 

Brief details of all applications for authorisation as a CTC 

will be published in the Plant Varieties Journal 10(2) with a 

list of all authorised establishments published in each 

edition thereafter.
