Delhi HC rejects PepsiCo’s appeal over potato patent: What the case is I Drishti IAS

The Delhi High Court last week upheld an order by the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority (PPVFRA), revoking the intellectual property protection granted to PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt Ltd with respect to a potato variety developed by it.
It pertains to FL 2027, a potato variety with high dry matter and low sugar content better suited for making chips.
Normal table potatoes have more moisture, which adds to dehydration and energy costs during processing, and higher sugar, which causes blackening on frying. FL 2027 was developed in 1996 by Robert W Hoopes, a US breeder employed with Frito-Lay Agricultural Research, a division of PepsiCo Inc.
