Aurora Cannabis has been granted community plant variety rights by the EU's Community Plant Variety Office for two of its proprietary cannabis varieties.
Bred in Canada through Aurora's advanced breeding and phenotyping programs, the company has been granted plant variety rights to Cannabis sativa L varieties named SOT20R07-007 (known as Farm Gas™) and ACB21T044 (known as Sourdough™). These varieties and their traits are the result of the company's research and scientific standards. Both cultivars are recognized for their strong patient and consumer appeal – including high potency and desirable aromas and bud structure – as well as for their consistency, and strong performance traits. Farm Gas™ and Sourdough™ are core products available to medical patients in Germany, Poland, UK, Canada, and Australia.

"Being granted Community Plant Variety Rights in the EU is a direct recognition of the exceptional cannabis genetics work underway at our preeminent Aurora Coast R&D facility that is unmatched in its level of excellence," said Lana Culley, VP of Innovation and International Operations for Aurora. "This protection not only strengthens Aurora's global genetics portfolio, but also ensures that our high-quality, differentiated varieties can consistently reach patients and consumers worldwide. Aurora remains committed to advancing our unique breeding program and developing genetics that set new standards in cannabis cultivation."
Community Plant Variety Rights, give Aurora exclusive control over the commercial production and sale of these varieties throughout the European Union's 27 member states for the duration of the protection period. Obtaining these rights in the EU, as well as existing rights in Canada and other territories, enables Aurora to commercialize the company's cultivars globally while protecting investments in science and innovation. Aurora's cultivars are grown in our own network of cultivation sites, as well as grown by partners and licensees around the world.
