Maybe this could be answered by those on this list who are in the
nursery industry (or by lawyer if there are any on this list):
Someone recently queried me if it was a patent violation if someone
exchanged scion wood that was patented if no fee was charged by the
provider of the wood. I ventured the opinion that I thought it was a
violation, but I am not a professional nursery person.
I also believe I've read that the first generation progency of
patented varieties may fall under patent protection - is this also
true?
Thanks,
