Intellectual Property Monitoring and Control

Greenstone is well-networked globally, with an ability to inspect markets actively seeking potential infringements and misuse of our clients’ inventions. This includes unauthorized fruit/ vegetable/ ornament/ plant production and sale, leading to potential royalty loss. 

Greenstone's representatives conduct propagator and grower visits to gather precise information on the propagation and use of our clients’ varieties.

Additionally, we offer market checks, even in supermarkets, where suspected samples of fruit, vegetables, or flowers can be taken for DNA testing. DNA results serve as crucial evidence for potential litigation and aid in the recovery of unpaid royalties.

This meticulous approach adds an extra layer of assurance for breeders and title holders, enabling them to navigate legal challenges with precision and confidence. Our independent third-party position not only opens doors that breeders might find challenging but also provides a way to separate themselves and their commercial activities from any negative reactions from audited third parties.
