Yes. Although CIP distributes genetic material for research and breeding purposes only, eventual commercialization by recipients is allowed. Furthermore, CIP respects any officially recognized breeders’ rights for genetic materials generated by other institutions. CIP may also distribute such material, for research purposes only. Owners of the officially recognized breeder rights must be consulted for any intended commercial use. CIP asks to be notified of any commercialization of CIP-distributed germplasm.
