The patent info for Goldrush can be found (under it's "Co-op 38" "breeding nummer") :

 

This URL should lead you to it :

It's also easy to find most apples there :

I've tried finding patent info at the USPO (www.uspto.gov) and it's pretty hard. I 
arbitrarily tried hunting for Gold Rush which I know to be a PRI Co-op apple. It 
seems like you have to already know a lot about the fruit before you can 
actually search for it. You can supposedly search via www.firstgov.gov, but even that has me 
pretty much stumped. (I gave up on Gold Rush. My guess is that I need to find 
the patent number and then do the search.)

best approach is to find a friendly grower who knows the details and can help 
you. I did find one localish grower who was willing to tell me what the royalty 
details were and was willing to accept the payment from me and then bundle it in 
with his when he made his payments. It would be really nice if there were a 
central clearing house where that could be easily done. Maybe there is, but I 
haven't heard of it yet.
