Essentially Derived Variety
A plant variety is taken to be an essentially derived variety of another plant variety if:
(a) it is predominantly derived from that other plant variety; and
(b) it retains the essential characteristics that result from the genotype or combination of genotypes of that other variety; and
(c) it does not exhibit any important (as distinct from cosmetic) features that differentiate it from the other variety.
For more information on essential derivation please check section 40 and section 41 of Plant Breeder's Rights Act 1994.
