The Plant Variety and Plant Seed Act Article 48

The registration certificate shall be effective for a term of ten (10) years. Plant seed enterprises that need to continue their business operations after the end of such term shall file an application for re-issuance of the registration certificate, together with the original registration certificate, within three months prior to the final date of such term. If a plant seed enterprise fails to file such an application or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of this Act, the enterprise's original registration certificates shall be published by the competent authority as invalid.
