Abstract

The development of modern biotechnology has introduced the concept of essentially derived variety (EDV) protection. However, its regulation in Indonesia led to ambiguity regarding the protected parties. Both EDV and initial variety breeders/holders perceive a lack of adequate protection, potentially causing economic losses. To analyze the legal gap, this study employs judicial-normative methods by examining Indonesian Positive Law and international instruments and proposing an ideal protection framework. The findings reveal moderate differences between national and international laws. There is a remuneration policy provided by EDV breeders/holders and/or reversed burden of proof mechanism in proving essential characteristics as stipulated in the 1991 UPOV Convention, neither of which are yet regulated under Indonesian legislation. Therefore, legislators must harmonize regulations and the PVP Office should take a more proactive approach to protecting breeders/holders, including the use of local varieties. As a result, the existing concept will be more optimal in ensuring interests of related parties.
