摘要

自1991年起至2006年9月間，我國品種權申請案件達352件；前期以蔬菜為主，後期以觀賞植物較多。申請案件中蘭花與聖誕紅佔觀賞植物的56%，蔬菜以瓜類、茄科蔬菜較多，兩者合佔71%。觀賞植物的申請者私部門約佔九成，蔬菜者公部門申請案略多於私部門，果樹類則全為公部門提出。申請權利保護的蔬菜類、果樹與茶品種中，92%皆在國內育成。觀賞植物則52%是國外的品種授權在臺灣申請，但蘭花全為國內育成的品種。獲得品種權證書的199個品種，審查時間從51天到3.8年不等，平均為1.15年。至2006年9月時具品種權者僅178件，其中觀賞植物佔71%，蔬菜類23%。品種權消滅者以蔬菜類為主。

There were 352 application cases for plant variety rights in Taiwan in the period from January 1991 to September 2006. Vegetables were the prevailing species applied in the early stages of applications, while ornamentals were the dominant species in the recent years. About 56% of the cases of ornamentals came from both poinsettia and orchids species. Crops of Curcubitaceae and Solanaceae occupied 71% of the application cases of vegetables. About 90% of the applicants of the ornamentals came from private sector, while more applicants came from public sector than private sector in cases of vegetables. All cases for fruit trees were contributed from public sector. Among the application cases, 92% of vegetables, fruit trees and tea cultivars were bred domestically. All the orchid cultivars were bred locally, yet 52% of the ornamental cultivars were bred outside Taiwan and were licensed to domestic firms seeking for right protection. Among 199 cultivars receiving variety right protection, the time period required from application date to issuing date ranged from 51 days to 3.8 years, with an average of 1.15 years. Up to September 2006, there were 178 valid variety rights in total, among them 71% were ornamentals and 23% were vegetables. Most of the expired rights came from vegetables.
