Within this system, member States must determine who will be responsible for assessing plant varieties. Jurisdictions have adopted divergent approaches to this question, with varying degrees and modes of government involvement in the assessment process. Taking Australia as a case study, this article explores a decentralised system of expert judgement where individuals accredited as Qualified Persons are authorised to judge new plant varieties. Drawing on extensive interviews, this article outlines Australia's Qualified Person system, including the accreditation, training, and supervision of Qualified Persons. I argue that the formal system of varietal assessment is underlaid and buttressed by a multiplicity of informal elements, including the tacit knowledge of Qualified Persons, audit processes, apprenticeship-like learning practices and interpersonal relationships of trust between Qualified Persons and government officials. 000049048 588__ $$aCrossref 000049048 590__ $$aPublished online: 16-Apr-23 000049048 650_0 $$aFarms$$xPlants, Protection of. 000049048 650_4 $$aIntellectual property 000049048 650_0 $$aGeographical indications (Marks of origin) 000049048 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049048 7001_ $$aMacDonald, Hamish,$$eauthor. 000049048 7731_ $$tJournal of World Intellectual Property$$wJWIP 000049048 830_0 $$aJournal Of World Intellectual Property,$$x1747-1796 ;$$v26, 3, 2023 000049048 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1111/jwip.12276$$yOnline version 000049048 904__ $$aArticle 000049048 980__ $$aJWIP
