Order APA/772/2026 provides for the extinction of breeder's rights and the subsequent cancellation of plant variety titles in the Register of Protected Varieties for the varieties listed in its annex (Art. 28.1 and 28.3 Law 3/2000). This measure is taken at the request of the holders themselves, who have renounced their rights over said species. This resolution exhausts administrative remedies, allowing for appeals for reversal within one month or contentious-administrative appeals before the National High Court within two months (Art. 114 Law 39/2015).
For companies and holders of the plant varieties listed in the annex (such as MAY 558, MAS SEEDS, or RUSTICAS DEL GUADALQUIVIR, SL), the regulation formalises the loss of legal protection over their varieties through the cancellation of their titles in the Register (Art. 28.3 Law 3/2000). This implies they will no longer be able to exercise exclusivity rights over the mentioned species (cotton, strawberry, bean, maize, mandarin, peach, walnut, etc.).
