Section 19

Where a grant of protection for a plant variety has been made under section 20, the grantee shall have the right to take proceedings against any person who, during the period between the application for the grant of protection under section 13 and the grant of that protection has carried out acts which, once the right is granted requires the grantee’s authorisation in respect of the protected variety under this Act as if the grant of protection had been made on the date of the publication application.
