Abstract: Despite that recentness of intellectual property rights protection of plants in the US , documenting the productive merit of varieties associated with IPR protection has been elusive. This paper using varietal trial data of soft white winter wheat from Washington State found supporting evidence to the hypothesis that Plant Variety Protection has contributed to the genetic improvement of soft white winter wheat in Washington State.
