Patents and Plant Varieties

At the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, we hold a broad portfolio of patents across various fields, reflecting our commitment to innovation and the advancement of agricultural science. Patents play an important role in protecting intellectual property and enabling the secure and responsible development of innovative technologies. By safeguarding intellectual property, we foster further research, support the growth of the agricultural sector, and facilitate the transfer of scientific knowledge into practical applications and industry.

In addition to patents, the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia manages an extensive portfolio of newly developed plant varieties, including potatoes, beans, cereals, legumes, and other agricultural crops. These varieties are the result of many years of research and breeding, focusing on improved quality, resilience, climate adaptation, and sustainable production. They represent an important contribution to Slovenian agriculture, food security, and the preservation of domestic knowledge and plant genetic resources.
