General Instructions
The application can only be accepted if completed, signed and accompanied by the correct
application fee, the completed technical questionnaire and any other required attachment.
The checklist above indicates the attachments which are required at application.
Send the original of the application, the attachments and fee payment by:
post to/self or courier to- The Registrar,
Intellectual Property OfficeBELMOPAN
Retain a copy for your own reference.Any authorization of agent, evidence of assignment of ownership, etc., must be the copy
containing the original signature, or be an original legally certified true copy.
Specific Instructions
Part 1 - Where the application is made by an agent (including also an application made by
a joint owner acting for all owners) it must be accompanied by an authorization
completed by the person(s) on whose behalf the agent is authorized to act.  A model
authorization is given in Form No. 2 of this Schedule.
Part 4 - The denomination is the designation or name under which the grant of Plant
Variety Rights will be registered.  Where application is made in more than one
country the same denomination must be used.  Applicants may defer proposing a
denomination until after application but if so must give a breeder’s reference or
some sort of temporary designation.  With some species it is common practice for
the variety denomination to be in the form of a breeder’s code name.  The term
commercial synonym is used to refer to th e fancy name that may be added to such a
denomination when the variety is marketed.  For example, the rose variety withdenomination ‘Macauck’ has the commercial synonym “Olympiad”.
Part 5 - Where the owner of the variety is other than the original breeder, i.e. the owner is
the successor in title to the breeder, the application must be accompanied by
documentary evidence sufficient to establish present ownership.
Part 6 - Indicate in chronological order all prior applications for protection (e.g. plant
variety rights, plant variety protection certificate, plant patent) without exception,
including those filed in countries which are not Parties to the International
Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants of 1978 as last revised.  Inthe “Stage” column indicate whether- pending, rejected, withdrawn, or rights

Part 7 Priority may be claimed in respect of an earlier application for plant variety protection
that has been duly filed with the Authority of a Contracting Party. If there has been more
than one such application, priority may be claimed only in respect of the first.  A further
proviso is that this overseas application should be claimed within a period of 12 months
from the date of the filing of the earliest application, but the day of filing shall not beincluded in the said period.  The advantage of claiming priority is that the date of
application overseas becomes regarded in effect as the application date in BZ.  This may
give you precedence over competitors that you would not otherwise have enjoyed.  If you
do claim priority, you must supply to the Intellectual Property Office, within 3 months of
the application date in BZ, a copy of the documents constituting the first application
certified as being correct by the overseas authority.
