Commercial thinking. Legal precision.

Turn plant varieties into commercial returns.

Greenstone helps you commercialise your varieties, enter new markets and collect the royalties you are owed. We have worked inside businesses in this industry, so our advice is practical, commercially minded, cost-conscious and built for the deal.

Commercial objectives need the right structure around them.

Fulfilling your variety portfolio's potential depends on the choices made around market entry, registration, partner selection, licensing, supply and visibility.

Greenstone helps connect the commercial, operational and legal pieces, so decisions come faster, steps land in the right order, and more of the value stays with you.

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

Intellectual property 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.

Greenstone supports businesses across the plant variety and fresh produce chain: entering markets, structuring partnerships, managing licensing and IP registration. Around those key aspects we build clearer systems for supply, reporting, royalties and protection.

Intellectual property registration icon

Intellectual property registration

We register the rights your commercial plan needs worldwide through one coordinated process.

  • Providing one easy-to-reach point of contact for PVR, plant patent and trademark filings

  • Managing agents, authorities, deadlines and plant material requirements
  • Spotting issues early, avoiding delays and unnecessary costs

Intellectual property protection

We identify and manage infringement risks early, protecting value before issues grow.

  • Monitoring varieties and market activity across territories and seasons
  • Separating credible threats from noise, focusing resources where they matter
  • Coordinating audits, sampling and DNA testing through local partners
  • Building a clear evidence trail, so escalation starts from a stronger position
