An insider in varietal IP
Commercial thinking.
Legal precision.
We do not start with contracts, forms, or filings. We start by understanding how a variety is actually going to be produced, sold, licensed, and defended in the real world, then build the IP around that.

- Worldwide registrationUPOV-aligned filings, one point of contact.
- Argus-driven protectionProactive monitoring, coordinated response.
- Deal-ready commercialisationAgreements that make partners perform.

WHAT SETS US APART
Built from within the industry, for the industry.
Greenstone was built by people who have worked alongside breeding programs, commercial operations, and global supply chains.
That operator’s instinct runs through everything we do, from the first decision about where to file to the licence that puts a variety in the ground.
01
Market-led strategy
We align IP decisions and filing scope with how the variety will be produced, sold, and licensed, so the commercial plan can actually work.
02
IP registration
We execute filings efficiently, and catch issues early so they don’t turn into delays, rework, or avoidable risk.
03
Protection as an ongoing process
Enforcement is hard to run manually. Argus streamlines monitoring and action tracking so breeders can stay in control, cost-effectively.
04
From rights to revenue
Rights only matter if they move value. We structure licensing models and agreements that make partners commit, perform, and scale.
WHAT WE DO
Four ways Greenstone can help you turn rights into revenue.
We support the full plant variety commercialisation lifecycle: from early planning and market-led IPR filing, through ongoing protection, to commercial structures that scale.
IP registration
Clean filings, aligned to your strategy.
- •One team handling filings worldwide
- •Catch errors before they trigger rejections
- •Avoid delays from missed formalities
- •One point of contact, you set the priorities
IP protection
Stay ahead of infringement, without the overhead.
- •Catch infringements early with Argus monitoring
- •Act on real threats, not noise
- •Keep a clear evidence trail for every action
- •Stay ready to respond when it counts
Commercialisation
Deals that make partners commit and perform.
- •A commercial model built around your variety
- •Partner terms that drive real performance
- •Faster market entry through our network
- •Agreements drafted and negotiated for you
Spot exposure early.
Prioritise and coordinate action.
Built from firsthand experience across the varietal value chain.
Argus gives you a variety-specific view of IP risk across territories and timeframes, helping you move from early signals to coordinated action and documented outcomes.
- Risk scoring by variety, risk type and timeframe
- Portfolio dashboard with territory hotspots
- Actions and evidence tracked in one place
