No, they have patented varieties, but many
of the varieties on the market are patented, Monsanto and others. And that
still doesn’t address the issue of “right-to-enter”. It would
be a very different issue with patented varieties vs patented genes. And
frankly, almost all of the varieties Seminis offers are from breeding work done
years ago, mostly by Petoseed, before Seminis bought them out. Packman broccoli
is an example. Many of those patents have run out or are about too. It would be
a waste of time for them to pursue it for very little reward. Makes no sense to
me. Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 From:

someone from saving seed of a variety that has a patented gene in it. There is
a long history and, I believe, court precedence for protection, of saving seed
of hybrids that do not have patented genes. |
