Argus, built for the plant variety chain.
Collect royalties, track registrations, manage contracts and risk. One system for your whole portfolio.
About you
You breed, use or hold rights to proprietary plant varieties. Your portfolio represents years of investment and commercial development.
The challenge now is protecting these assets across every territory.
About Argus
Argus is the AI-enhanced operating system for plant variety IP, built by industry veterans.
Greenstone built it to fix a structural problem: royalties uncollected, varieties unprotected, portfolios without visibility.
Invisible leaks are draining your royalties.
Revenue Leakage
Up to a third of royalties are lost to untracked propagation and under-reporting.
Manual Tracking
Teams spend around 200 hours a year reconciling records that should be automated.
Infringement Exposure
Without central visibility, unauthorised commercialisation multiplies undetected across territories.
* Industry-wide estimates, drawn from plant variety authorities and industry bodies.
The Cost of Inaction
What are blind spots costing you?
Blind spots compound. For a small to mid-size portfolio, a typical year looks like this.
Estimated industry averages for portfolios of 30 to 70 commercial varieties.
