Prolongation September 2025
This year, prolongation can be applied for vegetable and agricultural varieties that were listed in 2017. This also applies to vegetable varieties that were listed in 2004 and 2005.
The invitation will be sent in September
The Board for plant varieties will sent the invitation in September. From that day on, the prolongation module will be open.
Please note!
- The deadline for submitting an application for prolongation is December 31, 2025. On that day, the application fee for prolongation must be paid. Only then, applications can be processed.
- The maintainer of the variety is responsible for the prolongation of their varieties. We therefore ask the maintainer to carefully check which varieties are eligible for prolongation.
