Abstract

The paper deals with legislation concerning plant breeders' rights in Croatia in comparison with UPOV models (UPOV 1978 and 1991). Although Republic of Croatia is not a member of UPOV, there is a conformity of its laws concerning PBR with the provisions of the UPOV 1978 Act. However, there are significant differences between UPOV 1978 provisions and those of the 1991 Act. Further work on reviewing the PBR legislation is clearly needed in order to put it in accordance with the UPOV 1991 Act if Croatia wants to become a full member of UPOV.
