Background
The original description of the
aim of the project
on a
prototype electronic form was to develop a
multilingual,
electronic form containing questions relevant for plant
breeders’ rights (PBRs) applications
.
The aim of the prototype would be to develop an
electronic form covering all relevant information required
for a PBR application (including Technical Questionnaire)
in the members of the Union concerned and with questions
translated in the relevant languages for the members of
the Union concerned.
(see document CAJ/66/5 “Electronic Application Systems”, paragraph 2).

Benefits of the EAF system
1.
Multilingual system: possibility to read all
questions in all languages of participating
members
2.
Provide and electronic PVP system for
participating members who don’t have one
3.
Facilitate exchange of data in a standard
format (PVP-XML)
4.
Offer the possibility to reuse existing
application data

The UPOV Electronic Application Form Project Version 2 (PV2) in Geneva focuses on validating the PVP-XML Schema Version 2.0 and providing plant variety protection to encourage new plant varieties development. The mission of UPOV is to promote an effective system of plant variety protection for the benefit of society. The organization, established in 1961, currently has 74 members. The project aims to create a multilingual electronic form for PBR applications, available in various languages. Transfer options include regular mail, email, and secure file transfer methods.
