For plant patents filed before 1995, patents expire 17 years from date of ISSUE.  After 1995 patents expire 17 years from date of ISSUE, or 20 years from date of FILING, whichever is greater.

17 years if I recall correctly---that's assuming no trademark. Trademarks are hard to deal with. When the patent expires, the trademark cannot be used by others to sell the variety.

I know one of the Hinnomaki gooseberries was in my old Fruit Nut and Berry
Inventory, that was some 20+ years ago.  I figure someone here knows.  Donna
