Abstract
The process of creating a new plant variety is part of the technological developments the world has witnessed recently, and the accompanying reliance on research results using genetics and its scientific applications to achieve development and economic growth. Innovation in the field of biotechnology has become a top topic for researchers.It has received great attention from legislators, and has also received its share of attention at the international level, as a result of the economic and social effects that result from its widespread use in trade, food and pharmaceutical industries. It was necessary to search for a legal mechanism that regulates the relationship between producers of new plant varieties and their users. Based on this, the Iraqi legislator issued Law No. 15 of 2013 on the Registration and Accreditation of Agricultural Varieties, which includes controls to protect the rights of breeders over new plant varieties they produce, provided they meet the protection requirements stipulated in this law, to ensure the desired balance in dealing with the national plant wealth among the various stakeholders and actors in this sector. Although the protection of plant varieties in Iraqi Law No. 15 of 2013 favored the special system, this law did not include some terms specific to the protection of plant varieties,
