it also should be noted that you can't use "plant patents" to patent something you are going to make seeds of yourself. The "patent" applies ONLY to that one specific plant. Meaning you have to clone the plant (or asexually reproduce it another way), its verified that the clone is identical to the mother, and now that one specific plant is patented, and only you may clone it.


This is not like you get a pack of seeds in the mail and they are already patented. You'd need to be given some of the actual plant tissue just to have a chance to violate the person's patent.


Really not what's being discussed here at all.
