Syngenta launches e-licensing platform

Sygenta launched an e-licensing platform to provide plant breeders and research institutes with quick and easy access to patented native traits from its commercial vegetable varieties. The global Internet-based platform also offers access to patented enabling technologies, which help breeders with gene expression, plant transformation and protein targeting as they develop high-yielding varieties.

Academic and non-profit organizations can make free use of the available traits and technologies for R&D purposes, and can distribute the resulting products in developing countries free of charge.

Syngenta is offering standard licenses under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. There are also no lengthy and complex negotiations as licenses can be secured via the internet-based platform. The system may be accessed at traitability.com.
