Heron:

I think NAFEX could help compliance to plant patent law by compiling a list 
of patent holders, how much they expect to be compensated per plant 
propagated, and the address to send payment to.

Because:  sometimes a nursery source for a particular patented tree cannot be 
located, and it must be propagated independently.  Also:  many prefer to 
propagate their own trees rather than purchase from nursery.

The Jostaberries - a good backyard fruit - were propagated by complex crosses 
by a german, and his estate requested fee for propagation.  I certainly would 
send to germany a reasonable fee if I could find out where to send it.
