Seed Innovation and Protection Alliance
Stop by the SIPA table to learn more about the SIPA program.
The Seed Innovation and Protection Alliance (SIPA™) is established to promote the understanding and value of seed innovations as well as to facilitate and promote the respect of intellectual property rights for the benefit of members, growers, industry associates, consumers and the agricultural community.
In 2014, membership of the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) recognized the need for a concerted, industry-wide effort to champion the importance of intellectual property (IP) protection. They formed the Seed Innovation and Protection Alliance (SIPA) to create a unified and consistent voice for education and best practices around intellectual property protection and its value to our society.
Our members include leading seed companies and service providers from throughout the United States and the world. SIPA welcomes membership from across the seed industry, including but not limited to seed companies, growers, producers, authorized dealers, brokers, suppliers, service providers, universities, as well as state and federal agencies.
