This procedure examines whether plants and the essential biological processes used to produce them can be patented. It addresses the balance between encouraging innovation in agriculture and ensuring that basic biological methods remain accessible to all farmers and breeders.

This affects the agricultural sector, specifically crop producers, floriculturists, and livestock farmers, as well as companies developing new plant varieties and industrial property lawyers.
